Memories from 40 years in the stamp and coin business
by Brian Grant Duff
2002 at All Nations and the Bay Coin and Stamp department
Helped promote the Canadian Numismatic Association show in Vancouver. Got to see the Bank of Vancouver $5 banknote on display there.
A client traded us sheets of B.C. Laws that they had been given for work done for the government.
We turned up a unique Yukon Airways imperforate pair that Bill Topping acquired for his collection.
Attended the Lucky Loonie coin launch at G.M. Place. David Hamilton had an amazing side gig creating pseudo stamps and banknotes, denominated in U.S. dollars, for Antarctica.
He generously sent several local students to Antarctica, and back, with some of the proceeds.
