At last! A truly excellent guide* to grading circulation Canadian coins has been published by Andre Langlois (ANPB Boucherville)
It’s a large spiral-bound card-backed format. The photos are big – a half page. And there are tips to grading with each photo.
A very interesting feature is the inclusion of varieties and odd examples – an invaluable resource for Canadian collectors. Commemoratives, except for the 1935 dollar, are not included – they are quickly removed from circulation says the author. And coins after about 1970 are easily available in Mint States (MS grades) and so are not featured. But all the early Province coins are there Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island. There’s a single page on Token quality but it’s interesting.
