    Welcome to CT I think you will find there are several that do, but you might want to post in world coin form.

    I collect Canadian coins found in my change, or when I get a chance to rummage through Rick's garbage cans. :)

    I've recently found Canadian cents going back to the 1940 and earlier. stole the pics from the pocket change thread.

    I've bought and sold Canadian coins and Colonial tokens (mainly Breton-listed) for 35 years. Stopped doing coin shows about 18 months ago. Retired now, but still buying and selling, mostly on eBay. It's still in the blood.

    I've been collecting Canadian coins in Utah since 1984. I prefer them to U.S. when they are graded and priced correctly.

    Higher silver content is better - of all my 'junk' silver, 95% is .90 US coinage, 3% is .925 sterling silver spoons and dishes, 2% is Canadian .80 coinage - if I can get the sterling and Canadian silver for less than spot price on eBay, I'll bid - otherwise, I prefer the US circulated coins @ a low premium

    I have found enough Canadian cents & nickels here in Illinois to start collections of each. I think the reverse sides of Canadian coins are nicely done....especially the nickels.

    Sure, I have collected and sold a lot of Canadian over the years. I still have albums full of raw Canadian silver nickels, silver dimes, quarters, and a smattering of half dollars. I used to own a bunch of Canadian sovereigns, including at different times two 1913-Cs and an 1880 Newfie $2 gold in Mint State. Welcome aboard!

    Here's one I used to own. It did well at auction!

    Yes I collect Canadian coins.
    They think they found a way to prevent milk spots on the Maple Leafs. So I'd expect those will see an increase in sales.

    Sure do! Started more than a half century ago. Sold off some for college expenses decades ago, but have more today than I once did. Most of the better coins are in ICCS flips.
