Books on Canadian coins.

[stinky-migration]

What is wrong with the Canadians? They have wonderful coins but no books

other than the Charlton Catalogue. Does anyone know why?

Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins - ABOUT $15

Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Paper Money - ABOUT $17

Standard Catalogue of Canadian Municipal Trade Tokens - ABOUT $12

 

Available at www.money.org and likely many other places.

Then, of course, there are the Krauss standard references and likely many specialized reference items. There's also the Canadian Numismatic Association and all of their related pubs.

Stephan Dushnick's book on Canadian silver dollars and Haxby's book on the Royal Canadian Mint ( Striking Impressions) are both good references, especially the latter.

 

I'd like to write another book on Canadian silver dollars, but I don't have the time to go through the RCM archives to do the research (or write up the results once my research was done).

One good book(Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins ) is enough.

Coins of Canada by Haxby and Willey is similar to Charlton but has some things Charlton doesn't.

Thanks for the replies. I have all the books mentioned which is about all you have to choose from. What I guess I meant to say is that aside from the silver dollar book and an olympic coin book (both need updates) there are no specialty books like on U.S. coins.Example: Buffalo nickels, Mercury dimes ect.. They seem so Interesting (canadian coins) that I am waiting for the Canadian equivilant of Walter Breen or Q.David Bowers to show up and start writing.
