During these difficult times, it can be therapeutic to focus on something that gives us a sense of purpose, challenge and satisfaction. The first and second Sessions are highlighted by two substantial coin and banknote collections. The “Gem” Collection of Banknotes; The “Dowling Collection” of Canadian decimal coins. The “Dowling” collection holds a superb selection of High End Canadian decimal coins. A near complete collection in Mint state condition. The “Gem” Collection holds a PREMIUM Selection of carefully chosen banknotes in Gem Uncirculated-65 or better. The notes come graded by various Third party grading companies but each issue has been carefully selected and is attractive and proper for the grade attributed. The fifth session is highlighted by The Demers World Coin & Banknote Estate Collection. The “Demers Estate” Collection includes Thousands of Better World coins and Banknotes which is listed online only.
