An Incredibly Rare Coin Found By Canadian Collector

February 22, 2019 by Colonial Acres Coins

Last updated on June 25th, 2020 at 10:56 pmThere is a newcomer among the exquisite society of rare coins.

1936 “Dot Cent” Penny – Canada’s Rarest Coin?

September 3, 2018 by Colonial Acres Coins

When it comes to rare Canadian coins, there are, ironically, many of them in existence today. Some are rare because they only exist in very small numbers, while other ones were minted specifically for that purpose.
