A soon to be released new book from Whitman Publishing will cover the coins of Canada — a series very popular with collectors in the United States. (A recent informal poll indicates that 60% of U.S. coin collectors also collect Canadian coins.)

The full-color, hardcover book is authored by an award-winning expert who is well recognized in the hobby community for his accomplishments: James A. Haxby.

Haxby’s Guide Book of Canadian Coins and Tokens is sure to be the definitive new price guide and reference book on Canadian coinage, covering both Dominion of Canada issues and provincial and colonial coins and tokens. The 384-page book includes grading standards for every series; information on mints, mintmarks, privy marks, and mintage figures; history of Canadian money; technical details and specifications; bullion coins; die varieties; commemoratives; misstruck coins and errors; patterns and test tokens; the top 250 Canadian coin auction prices; a glossary of terms; and more.

The Guide Book of Canadian Coins and Tokens will be available January 17, 2012. Pre-order your copy today!
