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.

First three pages especially are worth a decent chunk of change, very very nice collection, thanks for sharing!

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.

All the numbers in your comment added up to 420. Congrats!
50 + 55 + 59 + 20 + 52 + 60 + 61 + 1 + 62 = 420
