NEW BOOK: A GUIDE BOOK OF CANADIAN COINS AND TOKENS

Canadian Coins and Tokens
Marvel at the Treasures of Our Northern Neighbor

An informal poll in early 2011 suggests that more than 40% of U.S. coin collectors also collect Canadian coins. This comes as no surprise to enthusiasts such as award-winning researcher James A. Haxby, a numismatist known throughout the hobby community as a distinguished expert on Canadian coinage. Now, Dr. Haxby has teamed up with Whitman Publishing to create the definitive price guide and reference book on the coins and tokens of Canada, from colonial times to the present.

Who will be interested in the Guide Book of Canadian Coins and Tokens?

• beginning to intermediate collectors of Canadian coins
• advanced Canadian specialists who want a well-laid-out single-source reference for mintages,
• specifications, and other technical data
• token collectors looking for an expert guide to Canadian colonial and provincial pieces
• U.S. collectors who want to learn more about closely related Canadian coinage
• world-coin collectors building a type set or more advanced collection of Canadian coins
• new hobbyists and investors attracted to Canadian coins by the recent rise in gold and silver
• casual collectors and travelers with unidentified Canadian coins and tokens, curious about their history and values

Call it the "Red Book with a Canadian accent"—the Guide Book of Canadian Coins and Tokens uses the same familiar format, layout, and design as the hobby's best-selling annual price guide, Whitman's Guide Book of United States Coins (the "Red Book," now in its 66th edition). Coin collectors know and love the Red Book; more than 22 million copies have been sold since the first edition. We're confident that the Guide Book of Canadian Coins and Tokens will be just as popular with active collectors.

Stay tuned for more information.
