I am an expert in Canadian coins. If you have a question about any Canadian coin, please ask me and I will do my best to answer your question in a timely manner. I have been collecting Canadian coins for over 40 years. I have written extensively on various Canadian coins.

You will not get a decent 36 dollar "cheap".

Mark, I can send you a link to a couple of spots where a 1936 UNC will cost you less than $60. You speak English and shouldn't have any problems negotiating an appropriate method of delivery. Unless our new expert friend is mixing up the 1936 and 1938 Voyageur dollars?
Mark, if you are thinking of buying any of these please send me a PM first. I might be able to save you some money. ;)

Off topic... it's nice to see that following the untimely death of Coinsoldier, a brand new Canadian expert has arisen who can supply any coins you need just like the deceased. It lessens the loss a little to know that at least a part of him lives on.

I do not have any coins for sell. I just checked the selling prices of a couple of online coin dealers in Ontario and summarized the selling prices. The guy was looking for information and I thought I would pass some along. I just joined this site today and I certainly do not feel good about the welcome. I mentioned a guy coinsoldier that I saw made posts on this forum and also on the coin community forum and some of you guys went on the attack.

You are dishonest and have modified your earlier post.

Hey! I'm here as well and am happy to help with Canadian coins, although I may not have them up for swap...

He even whines like Coinsoldier.

Yep, he was trying to sell coins but edited the post to make it look otherwise. Pretty inauspicious start, member for less than 24 hours, 10 posts, already caught out in at least two lies.

Not bad for a guy who's been dead for a week.

These are the actual catalogue values btw:
EF: $36
AU: $40
MS-60: $60
MS-63: $120

And a decent price for them is 75%-80% of the above values

So, the coins you were offering for sale are not actually in your possesion?

^^Must have been some pretty hefty markups for those stores... I get all my Canadian coin values from 'trends', an up-to-date section in the Canadian Coin News magazine. That is what all dealers (that I have met thus far) use as a baseline for selling and buying.

If you want one just go to a large indigo/chapters and they usually have (only) one copy in the 'hobbies' section of magazines.

Where is this coming from? Why are you attacking me like this? This must be against forum policy!
I would guess it's coming from the prices and advice you are offering, as quoted here... 8)

As far as forum policy is concerned, I think members should be protected and aware of your efforts here. You were attempting to sell merchandise you do not have, at dishonest prices and then trying to backtrack, lying about it along the way. Pretty sad! :snif:

The prices that I quoted were based on what I found online from coin stores. I find this gives a more realistic picture than coin catalogues. However, calling me dishonest and accusing me of lying has crossed the line.

If I was trying to sell coins, I would not have listed such a wide range of pricing. The wide range reflects the prices I found at different online coin stores. Secondly, if I was trying to sell coins, I would have sent the potential buyer a private message.

I sent you and one other member a PM (private message) in an attempt to keep this out of the public eye. I have done nothing wrong. However, I believe you are being a bully and I do not know why.

I have to agree with our Canadian coin expert here. By the way welcome to Numista.

Although the prices he provides may seem inflated, it seems that he knows his stuff. Stores that sell coins always inflate prices, I mean, I know ones that sell French brass centimes by the dollar. The price that you guys are talking about is from the World Coins Catalogue, which is the right price one should pay. The prices that our friend is providing are the realistic prices.

To be honest, I'm a little disappointed in you guys. This guy seems fair and honest, and it's true you guys are abusing the Forum policy. Take a chill pill guys. You didn't even welcome him (except Phil on another post, thanks man).

By the way Phil, I don't think it's a sock puppet account. Did coinsoldier live in Canada? And besides, if he did, I don't think this is him.

I am not coinsoldier. Do you think that I would be stupid enough to comment on coinsoldier if I was him? I do not know anything about this coinsoldier except he had been on another coin forum on which I was a member. I have never met anyone on any online site who was a bully like pnightingale. I do not know what he has against me.

I believe you, bro.

It's not right to assume like that. We've had a bad history with coinsoldier, but we shouldn't trashtalk whenever someone brings him up, that's my opinion.

Bullies suck, don't they.

I remember back in elementary school, I was bullied for going out for this one girl. So I told off on him, and he had a week suspension. Hopefully he learned something. I know I did.

This guy pnightingale is a bully. There is nothing else to say.

A forum bully is school ground throwback. Remember that middle school bully with his pathetic little band of sycophantic followers? That's a forum bully. In ways the forum bully is just a pseudonym for a troll, but with a major difference. While the troll's behavior is condemned by the group, the forum bully's actions are condoned by the group. Established members of the group, who don't agree with the forum bully, usually remain quiet while the bully tears apart people just for sport and as a demonstration of power within the forum.

Unfortunately if you are an outsider, there's not much you can do. To attack the bully often will cause the more established members of the forum to close ranks and dispel the outsider. There's a certain logic in this. As an outsider, you've yet to prove whether you're worth defending - especially against an established member of the forum.

I'm sorry for thinking poorly about your opinions.

Let me remind you, and everyone else who uses the forum, that if someone does talk badly about a member, whether they are a liar or just an ordinary new member, members who use the forum for the first time are going to think, "What jerks." I know that you're better than that Phil, and it's probably not a good idea to express rough opinions openly. In this case we should all apologize, not just me. I was trying to stop the hate, even though I was wrong to think mycoinman was being honest.

I also avoid using the words s*** and f*** on the forum, even if it was a joke. To be fair, I honestly think that coinsoldier's account should be deleted. As for the other account, I leave that up to the site administrator.

This is clearly a man with some serious mental issues and character flaws. His willingness to feign illness, injury and even death to manipulate others is beyond contempt. Given the fact that he never mentioned his ever decreasing body parts until after he was exposed as a bottom feeder, I can't help but wonder how true his war stories are. Prior to his little old lady scam becoming public he never mentioned missing legs, from that point onwards he never shut up about them.

I have no doubt whatsoever that he will be back with a new account and a new story. Perhaps he will learn how to mask his IP address. It doesn't matter, there are certain grammatical markers and idiosyncracies which make it easy to spot any particular writer. It's not rocket surgery, ask anyone who has worked on benefit fraud.

His intentions were clearly dishonest and had nothing to do with offering advice, he was trying to hustle overpriced coins which he didn't even have. It's a safe bet they would have been "lost in the mail", a misfortune which seemed to happen to Coinsoldier with alarming frequency. Numista lost members because of this.

It would be helpful if Numista team members, whose opinion quite rightly carries a lot of weight, refrained from giving legitimacy to his attempts to deceive members. Much concern has been expressed in recent months about scammers, it is not helpful when those trying to prevent it are portrayed as the villians and known swindlers are welcomed with open arms.

On that note, I was given Mr Coinsoldier's real name and address by one of his previous victims. While I understand that posting the information would not be the right thing to do, if anyone receives an offer to buy, sell or trade coins with a new member from Canada feel free to check in with me before sending coins or cash. While I would not share personal information, I would be willing to confirm or deny that it's the same person.

Coinsoldier, I know you are reading this. Your game is up, you scored a few free coins, now it's time to move on because you won't be getting any more. On a personal note, please seek out help and counselling for your own good. I sincerely wish you well and hope that one day you will learn that self respect is more valuable than a few coins.

ATLAST ! I've managed to read something before its been deleted !
Dear Phil, Numista members, and team,

It has come to my conclusion that people don't take kindly to scammers and I completely understand that people get very hostile, very quickly when our hobby is under threat. I think we got the right result: but I agree that this should not be happening and that we do need to protect ourselves and new members.
As a direct result, I would like to ask for an American forum moderator. I have asked Xavier to look out for one and do feel it a necessity.
Many people post on here and some are genuine collectors stumbling across our haven but there are many forms of evil and even our "friends" can get nasty. I would like if this situation arises again that we could trust the team to deal with it. I was PM-ed by two members to inform me on this thread and that coinsoldier was back in an unconvincing disguise. He'll endeavour to get better...but for some reason he needs us...but we need him like a hole in the head. I like Phil, do wish him a road to recovery but he isn't going to get it here.

The team have been going through a tough time and we have gone from a tin pot team to a stainless steel pot team. We are getting better and with the outlook of new powers given to us by our administrator, Xavier...we are striving to improve the website and team practice. We know that there are times that members are frustrated, in turn, the team can be frustrated too. Obviously, I can only speak for myself but shortly before the website went down, I thought we were in a real pickle. But we have come through that and out the other side, as Cerulean clearly shows, we grow every day and I think at some point we will surpass a lot of the coin websites. We are doing a lot right but we are also getting some things wrong. It is like it is with people, it isn't always intentional and not always easy to work around.

My communication here, althoug rambling, is to say that I have been the forum moderator here, I am the forum moderator here, I will be for the near future the forum moderator here, I will do my best to uphold the forum policy: and if you have a problem: PM me. I can usually act quite fast...obviously I did not recently as I was asleep. If a swap goes bad or silent, PM me...I can look into it for you.
The majority of us should be making clear decisions, good communication, and at the end of the day be upholding the values of collecting, not looking to directly skank another collector, not offering a newbie an unfair exchange. Everyone wants to pay or exchange a little for a lot but it is what you are happy with that is important, some people don't give a hang for value, and some people don't know an obverse from a reverse. Knowing what you have is important and if you don't then ignorance is bliss.
I swapped a lot of Olympic 50p's early on...I wish I could get them back but I can't: C'est la vie.

To finish: I wish everyone the best 2013 for your collection and you all...I am here to make the road smooth occasionally I make more of a pot hole or a bump but then again sometimes we get make mistakes. All in all we are here to collect coins, we share a hobby that dates back a long way and is fascinating, I shall endeavour to be a good custodian of coins, a fair swapper, and a good friend.

This is nothing to do with coinsoldier or anybody else. This is just a link to a very useful site on Canadian coins giving price guides and many variations and errors. Enjoy

Dear forum members,

If I notice something that isn't right, I will do my best to inform all in a public way. It will be up to the Numista Team to edit and delete anything irrelevant, once the dust clears.

Protecting ourselves against dishonest individuals or swindlers is our right. I do not wish to be on a forum where this right is forbidden by a rookie. Unfortunately, this requires being on the ball, reading the forum and understanding what is going on while we are reading it.

The gaffes and inexperience of any Numista Team member is something I do not wish to occupy my time with. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to moderate forum members like myself and have to worry about carrying an inexperienced, wet behind the ears member of the Numista Team, along for the ride.

Much like the Japanese, who have a great respect for their elders, the Numista Team should also consider not letting disrespectful youngsters run their mouth and lecture the more experienced on the forum, unless their "suspicions" are first cleared by an adult with a level head.

bam777, you may contact me if you wish to get copies of all inappropriate private emails sent to me regarding this matter.
Although the initial responders turned out to be right in their criticism I'd like to back up Kenny and agree that it was unnecessarily harsh words being written. Before I understood why, I too was a bit shocked by the hostility. Maybe in the future this would be better handled with a simple warning to members, and a notification to Numista staff. This is my opinion on the matter.

The words "dishonest" and "lies", along with an emoticon are too harsh for you?

That's the beauty of a forum, why would you try to restrict the opinions of others? Your way would allow the Numista Team to side with the fraudulent and banned member, it almost happened. If the dishonesty and lies were not caught and brought to light immediately, there may not have been enough proof to identify the swindler. We all have the ability to edit our posts. He may have become your next swap partner. That is my opinion.

Pay attention, here is an example of doing it your way, very quietly and notifying Numista staff...

Citeer: hagglundAlthough the initial responders turned out to be right in their criticism I'd like to back up Kenny and agree that it was unnecessarily harsh words being written. Before I understood why, I too was a bit shocked by the hostility. Maybe in the future this would be better handled with a simple warning to members, and a notification to numista staff. This is my opinion on the matter.
I presume that you didn't see the original posting (now edited to remove the sales pitch) where this swindler was trying to sell coins which he later admitted to not even having in his possesion?  Would you be content to let matters proceed and watch from the sidelines as your fellow members get fleeced?

That a Numista team member finds it appropriate to condone, support and legitimise these efforts is disgraceful. The hectoring tone and frankly distasteful comments towards those doing the RIGHT thing, by one enabling a crook and liar is outrageous. I take great exception to being described as a bully, a trashtalker and one who "sucks".

These are the words used by a Numista team member, what conclusion are we to draw? That Coinsoldier and his aliases is a stand-up guy, but long-standing members with impeccable records and well-established reputations are trashtalking bullies who suck.

I know I'm not the only one wondering if this new Numista is the right place for me. As the memberships grow rapidly we will inevitably attract more and more undesirables. Previously I had always thought that we could identify and remove them before too much damage was done, now I'm not too sure. If the official message is going to be "Hey bro, don't worry, send this guy your coins and money, it will be fine and ignore those guys trying to warn you" then the future does not look promising.

Throughout my membership here I have consistently supported the Numista team's efforts and have intervened on more than one occasion to help privately resolve a dispute, in other words, I am not a troublemaker, in fact just the opposite. I have never before felt the need to have any kind of public dispute with the powers that be, but being publically slandered for trying to do the decent thing has changed that. I am NOT happy.

Things should not have come to this and I understand you're upset. We do need to be vigilant against this sort of occurence and I thought that the tone of your disturbance was right. I'd be pretty annoyed if someone that was banned came back too.
My dear Ben, I'm not angry with Coinsoldier, he is what he is and I wish the man no harm. It's hard to tell what is true and what is fantasy at this point but I truly hope he gets professional help. Faking your own death is not the action of a balanced mind.

I am angry at the amatuerish response and lack of good judgement. You are permitted to sleep dear boy, especially after an exhausting day digging through coin trays. In your absence, and in the absence of any type of lead from those not asleep, members took the action neccessary to prevent what would have been a humiliatingly public swindle from occurring.  Nobody is asking for a medal or even a thank you but to find one's reputation being dragged through the mud is just infuriating.

I have seen the messages sent to Jakub demanding that HE apologise to the fake account and both the tone and content are highly inappropriate. An apology is indeed due, but it isn't due to any liar using a false account.

I'm 100% confident that had you been awake and present this whole mess would have been over in 30 minutes.

I get the point: but this guy is completely different. We don't want everyone that jumps on board to have a Spanish inquisition. Coinsoldier made a mistake in thinking that we were stupid. New users send their coins first...end of story.
I'm confident that isn't him although I must admit I didn't recognise this as coinsoldier, I was wary I asked just to see what another angle was for values I have been talking to none other than slim shady about Canadian silver for some weeks ! I would always sought the advice of active and local members:)
Yeah, I'm certain it's not him although it's good to be watchful.

Y'all might want to go along and make our new member feel welcome in case he thinks we are picking on him :)

You are a meanie! x.
I'm sorry if my defence of Kenny offended anyone, I just felt he got a bit bashed for standing up to a new member he didn't realize wasn't all that new. I value each and every one highly who have written thus far in this thread, with the exception of anyone being deceitful of course. I hope none of you will ever leave, again with above-mentioned exception.
Wow! An entertaining read on a Sunday afternoon.  0:)
Honestly, I agree with everybody here, Phil, Jacub, Ben, and Kenny. Everyone had very valid point  but we should be as patient and careful as passionate we are about our hobby. Can you imagine, just imagine, for a second that you were wrong and the dude wasn't who you thought he was? I prefer "innocent until proven guilty" approach so reading some comments above Xavier's message was a bit surprising. Anyways, peace to all and I  hope no relationship went sour after this.  0:)

My comments apply to the dishonest liar who started this topic, regardless of who he really is, or if and when Xavier wrote his first post in this thread. For your convenience and swapping security, his actions and attempts were noticed by, not one, but, at least two outspoken members of Numista. No thanks to the active Numista team member, who would have recommended you trade with a swindler. It's a fact, that lies and post editing are the foundation of this topic, regardless of what you want to call the author.

That's his tell. I was on to him from the start. I even told other members it wasn't him. I contacted Xavier. He's confirmed.

The trouble is he is beyond help. He's multiple personalities, but they are all full of the same bs. I'm going to delete some of the threads.

Yup, I was stupid enough to think that the accounts were two different people.

If it is confirmed, I will show no sympathy towards our "new" member.

I admit I fell for it the second time, until he offered (I assume) a half dollar that he had already said he didn't have.

I think even someone as obtuse as the allegedly legless eunuch must have figured out that his real identity has been circulated to the point that he can't find any scam victims here. I'm guessing his new tactic is to create daily accounts and waste a lot of time and spam the forum with his usual trite comments.

Time for an IP block I reckon. I'm guessing he is too dumb to know how to get around that.

Called it!
I believe a volunteer member of Numista should be there to welcome him anytime he shows up, just throw him a warm, "Hey dude, bro, dunno, welcome to the family, ya know".
Oh I'm sure there will be many future oppoortunities to roll out the red carpet for him. You can bet your last dollar that right now he is down in his basement in his crusty, stained underwear planning his next incarnation. I mean, why stay away? There can't be too many places were the pickings are so easy and the welcome so warm.

Incidentally, I notice young Torontokuba that you have not complied with the demand to apologise to the legless war hero-elderly coin expert-high schooler. Why do you have to be so obstructive all the time?

I don't know, it must be that thing in the back of me, called a "backbone". It also helps that it's still attached to a working brain. I guess for some people, life might be easier as they slither through it, agreeing with everyone and everything, always being PC and treading lightly in order not to make any waves. I prefer having an opinion, taking sides in conflicts and using the analytical skills, deductive skills and observation skills God gave me.

Yeah, he sent me one claiming that the eBay account on his Coin Community profile was just a random link that he put there. Strange coincidence that it has his real name attached to it. He has taken it off now of course but I already got his number.

I think he is panicking at the prospect of some Canadian member tipping of the tax folks to the earnings from his eBay store.
