This work for coin and token collectors offers a price guide and reference covering provincial and colonial Canadian issues and coinage of the Dominion of Canada, from the 1500s to the present. Coverage encompasses bullion coins, popular die varieties, commemoratives, mis-struck coins, minter errors, coin sets, patterns, and test tokens. The book gives information on coin die varieties, technical specifications, and grading advice for each coin type, listing retail values of each coin in up to 12 grades. The book's layout and organization are patterned on the publisher's Guide Book of United States Coins (known as the 'Red Book' to collectors). The book includes appendices on grading and authentication, top 250 auction prices, the monarchy and Canadian numismatics, and national, provincial, local, and US organizations. The book contains about 1,600 color photos of coins and tokens. Haxby has written other works on coin collecting. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
