Is there a list of Canadian coins by KM# ?

[bohica-migration]

Rather than "re-invent the wheel" by thumbing thru 19th and 20th century Krauses' does a list by KM# already exist? I'm looking for something that has KM# and denomination with notes explaining varieties. Thanks!

Bohica,

Hi! Did you complete your list? Looks like you've worked hard on this. I'm looking for one with all the Canadian circulating coins from Queen Victoria to now. Can I get a copy please?

 

Added: Is this a spreadsheet like Lotus 123 or Word document? How easy was it to update, change and move things around?

 

Thank you,

Chuck

Does anyone collect coins according to KM numbers? I mostly use KM as a reference for short-lived series or complicated types, but I've never even considered building a type set according to them.

[Charles_Urlin_Farley-migra]

shirohniichan: I am trying a Canada circulation set from KM1 in Extremely Fine or better. Bohica's list shows it's pretty straight forward without many sub-types at least thru KM48. Starting with Elizabeth there was an explosion of types, sub-types and NCLT's that take an effort to sort thru. The KM# list now extends past 430 with all the commems.

 

Of the first 58 coins (KM1-KM48) I have 37 (NOT 38). Some of the Victoria, Edward VII and George V stuff is pretty pricey in EF so I may have to settle for Fine or Very Fine.

 

Bohica: you missed a couple -

KM11a - 25 Cents in .925 silver - the weight was increased from 5.8100 grams to 5.8319 grams.

KM35 25 Cent in .800 silver with maple leaf - 1947 only and technically not a sub-type. India's independence caused problems for early 1948 coins because a change in legends was needed. So 1947 dies with the maple leaf added were used until the 1948 dies without 'ET IND:IMP:' were ready.

 

George VI became king in 1936 so KM# 32-48 were issued during his reign.

For the series I collect, Peruvian Soles, the experts disagree on what differentiates certain types. For example, Krause uses a design change to separate type XII soles from XIII, Ceasar Fishman uses the planchet change from 37mm to 36.5mm, and Gunter Schon uses the composition change from 90% to 50% silver as the differentiator between types. See my web page at: 20th Century Peruvian Sol Varieties

 

[shirohniichan]

We need to establish a Peruvian soles Set Registry to get rid of all the ambiguity about what constitutes a type.

Krause's methodology is the only one that works consistently across all countries A 1943 steel cent isn't a type and it isn't an error (a 43 copper cent would be an error). The definition of "variety" gets a little fuzzy here, though. :Q Red Book calls zinc coated steel cents "variety 2". I'm not so sure they are.
