The First Edition of Modern Canadian Doubled Die Varieties is a comprehensive catalogue written by John O'Connor, a numismatist from Kawartha Lakes Ontario. In late 2018 after conversing with like-minded experts and collectors regarding the lack of publications, research, or documentation for this type of die variety, John decided to take on the task of documenting, finding, and occasionally making new discoveries of doubled dies on Canadian coins intended for circulation and proof-like sets. Inside the first edition, readers will find detailed images of how these types of die varieties can occur during a process known as hubbing while also showing the differences between common forms of worthless doubling and genuine doubled die varieties. There are 57 detailed listings with price charts, mintage reports, compositions, weights, and over 100 colored images to use for comparison purposes while searching for these oftentimes scarce varieties. Additionally, there is an extensive reference list containing 173 doubled die listings across all seven denominations of Canadian coins with some information cited from well-known collectors, experts, and websites that have given the author proper written permission to reference individual listings, listing numbers, websites, images, coin community forum posts, and written information so that collectors new and experienced can have access to presumably the largest Canadian doubled die reference list to date.Includes 57 Detailed Listings for:1 Cent - from 1941 to 20085 Cents - from 1965 to 202010 Cents - from 1951 to 20121 Dollar - from 2012 to 20222 Dollars - for 2012Includes 173 Detailed Reference Listings for:1 Cent - from 1941 to 20085 Cents - from 1947 to 202010 Cents - from 1951 to 201225 Cents - from 1953 to 197250 Cents - from 1943 to 19961 Dollar - from 1945 to 20222 Dollars - from 2011 to 2021

"Journalist John O'Connor takes readers on a narrative quest through the American wilds in search of Bigfoot, its myth and meaning. Inhabited by an eccentric cast of characters, this book explores the zany and secretive world of 'cryptozoology, ' tracking Bigfoot from the Wild Men of Native American and European lore to Harry and the Hendersons, while examining the forces behind our belief in the supernatural. By turns an ardent, philosophical defense of nature and a gonzo trip into alternative reality, this is the story of our Bigfoot obsession - where it comes from, what it means today - and the people driving it. Tag along with O'Connor as he treks through the shrouded forests of the Pacific Northwest, studies indigenous legends, and attends off-the-wall cryptozoological conventions. With sharp wit and an adventurous spirit, this heartfelt exploration of a cornerstone of American folklore unpacks why we believe in the things that we do, and what that says about us"--

Monsignor John O'Connor (1870-1952), an Irish parish priest in Yorkshire blessed with a solid continental education, was the inspiration for G K Chesterton's famous clerical sleuth, Father Brown. Though a friend of Chesterton and Eric Gill and a published writer himself, O'Connor's motives for printing his prewar tract on liturgical renewal both privately and anonymously will not be hard to fathom. His liturgical views offer an insight into the thinking of non-specialist advocates of the Liturgical Movement in the late 1930s. Always strident, his liturgical opinions are sometimes prophetic and often confounding. Immune to neat categorisation, this liturgical manifesto from the real "Father Brown" may surprise many admirers of the beloved character he inspired.

""Of The Chivalry Of Christ"" by John O'Connor is a spiritual book that explores the concept of chivalry and how it can be applied to the Christian faith. The author draws upon the medieval concept of chivalry, which emphasized the virtues of courage, loyalty, and honor, and applies it to the modern-day Christian life. O'Connor argues that Christians should strive to embody the chivalric virtues in their daily lives, not only to deepen their relationship with God but also to serve as an example to others. The book is divided into chapters that focus on different aspects of chivalry, such as humility, charity, and sacrifice. Each chapter includes biblical references and anecdotes from the lives of saints and other Christian figures. ""Of The Chivalry Of Christ"" is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that challenges readers to live a more virtuous life and to seek a deeper understanding of their faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
