Van Isle coin

News: Welcome to the Canadian Paper Money Forum.

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone has dealt with Van-Isle coin on Fort Street in Victoria. How are his prices and is he easy to deal with. Thanks Bob.

I have dealt with Van Isle when visiting Victoria a few years ago.  The fellow who operates the store is pleasant and very easy to deal with and his prices are reasonable.  Unfortunately, he does not always have a great deal of material. 

There are two other dealers on Fort Street.  One that is basically an antique store but has some high-end ICCS-graded Canadian coins.  The owner is pleasant but wants top dollar for his coins.  I can't remember if he had much in the way of "paper". 

The material in the third shop was, in my opinion, over-graded and, accordingly, I did not spend much time there.

If and when I return to Victoria, my first (and possibly only) stop would be Van Isle.

There's a coin club in Victoria but I don't know if they put on an annual show.
