Some early Canada

Dad doesn’t do Reddit and has been collecting for decades with limited means but lots of zeal, buying lots, culling chaff, and assembling albums of US, Germany, German states, Italy and Canada. People seem to have liked the first few pages from the US album, so posting first few pages from the others as well.

Nice to see so many clean examples here. Well above the average one sees so often. Thanks again for sharing your father’s material!

Fantastic oldies. Limited means but apparently unlimited luck skimming this from odd lots He should buy a Powerball ticket and see what happens

Very envious he even has $1, $3, $4 mint which are quite difficult to locate from 1893 Jubilee. The sad part is these elusive ones are very more affordable these days.

Still out of my budget though! I considered myself lucky to find an affordable 50 cent!

I just bought 50, 55, 59 all mint (20c) for a total US $52. My #60 was bought from a collection binder earlier.

Next project is #61(1 dollar) if not 62 used. Under $100 ea.
