About this Item

Guide to Errors and Varieties on Canadian Coins Volume 1-1 Cent Elizabeth II by Christian Houle Published by author, 2018. 275 pages, spiral bound, well illustrated on high quality glossy paper, spiral bound. For decades, Christian Houle has been collecting Canadian coins with errors and varieties and has become quite passionate about them. He plans to share the knowledge he has accumulated over those years in a series of guides. The first volume of this series, this book covers the varieties and errors found 1-cent coins issued during the reign of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II (1953-2012). To better keep track of the pieces in his collection, he developed three-letter codes to describe the type of error and its location. In the first part of the book, he introduces the reader to his three-letter codes as well as to what he has called the interest index . Indeed, rather than give a value for the various pieces listed, he has provided an interest index, which reflects the appeal an error may have for a collector. In the second part of the book, Houle presents non-die-related errors, those that are the result of faulty procedures during the production of the coin (during blanking, plating, and striking), and therefore affect the physical aspects of the coin.
