<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kvasir, post: 92752, member: 4139&quot;]Yeah. This is the quarterly catalogue issued by Canada Post. The main focus of this catalogue is on philatelic and collectables issued that season. It also lists philatelic products from a number of foreign countries including the US. There are a small amount of numismatic coins for order but it&#039;s only a small list compared to what&#039;s available from the Royal Canadian Mint site. I don&#039;t believe the RCM publishes a print catalogue. They&#039;ve been listing foreign products on the catalogue for a few years now. It&#039;s a good source to learn about interesting products to buy. Of course it&#039;s cheaper to get the products directly from the source than through a 3rd party like Canada Post.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is also a sister catalogue called <i>Details</i>. It is a quarterly catalogue by Canada Post as well focusing more on currently issued and upcoming postage stamps and FDCs. </p><p><br /></p><p>These catalogues are available for free to anyone (at least Canadians) who have ordered anything from Canada Post, or anyone signed up for it. Basically they&#039;ll just sent them to you automatically unless you tell them to stop. You can also pick them up at any local postal outlet near you. The content of these catalogues are available on their website for ordering online. <a href="http://www.canadapost.ca" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.canadapost.ca" rel="nofollow">www.canadapost.ca</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>The price on Canadian stamps and FDCs is good from Canada Post. Stamps are always at face value and FDCs are face value plus 1$ for the envelope. There is no S/H charge for Canadian orders at least.</p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, it&#039;s always expensive to order from the Mint. Your best bet is to go to your bank and ask for fresh Mint roll around the time you know a new commemorative is released and just after New Years. You get these at face value at the bank and you can get as many as they have available. NO S/H charges! The trick is to find a branch that receives new rolls from the Mint regularly. </p><p><br /></p><p>One thing to watch out though, the Mint seems to recycle and repackage coins. I got a Mint packaged rolls from the bank just recently and when I opened it, it contained a variety of dates. Many of them look modestly circulated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
