Innovation is a great thing – typically speaking. Without it, the human race would not have achieved the benefits we have now, such as technology, engineering, healthcare and so on. The world will undoubtedly continue to move forward; however, such progress often comes at the expense of something else. Think about it – the birth of Amazon drove thousands of small bookstores to ruin. So, there are two sides to every coin.
In this day and age, when all everybody seems to talk about is creating something new and exciting, many lose track of the fact that what really matters is not only getting to the top but staying there awhile. And that is exactly where the story of Colonial Acres starts, and – luckily for millions of coin collectors throughout Canada and the world – continues.
Starting in 1991 as a part-time summer business by amateur coin collectors, Colonial Acres has persevered through the years and has grown to become a household name in the collector coin world. The great journey from a table at local flea markets and coin shows to a staff of 20 and a 7,200 square foot building was arduous, yet rewarding at the same time.
In addition to being an industry favourite, Colonial Acres Coins is today one of the leading numismatic companies in all of Canada. Dealing in Canadian and US coins and paper money, the company offers collectors the chance to not only obtain tons of helpful information but also safely purchase coins online, completely hassle-free. Moreover, the firm also handles silver and gold, complete with a full line of numismatic supplies. In addition to distributing United States and Royal Canadian Mint products, it also participates in icollector online auctions. Online auctions are perfect for those collectors looking to find Canadian and World Decimal, Gold and SIlver coins, Paper Money, tokens and one-of-a-kind lots with items from Mints around the world.
One of the best things about Colonial Acres is the fact that, despite a massive onslaught of large capital, they continue to exist as a family business. Out of seventeen full-time and three part-time employees, as many as eleven are family members, including the second generation. The current headquarters features a large storefront area, private space for customers to sell their collections, and most importantly, plenty of room for both the customers and employees to gather.
The fact of the matter is, Colonial Acres has provided invaluable and expert services to numismatic customers for 25 years to date. At the rate they’re going and with the kind of relationships they have successfully established with the numismatic community, they’ll have no trouble persevering for another 25 years and more.
