Canadian collectors seem fairly well organized to me, John, they're
having a convention soon, if it hasn't already happened, and they
have an specialty organization called, CATC, I believe. I've found
Canadians to be much more broad minded than we Americans, and much
more knowledgeable in areas such as Blacksmiths.
My motives for belonging to the Blacksmith esig is simply that I
might learn something from a few of these Canadians who obviously
know much more about the subject than you or I, and if it relates in
some way with counterfeit halfpence all the better - such as Gord's
revelation about Wood 42.
Good luck with your endeavor to impress the Canadians, you're already
off to a good start.
