About SellMyCoins.ca

A real Canadian coin enthusiast helping you turn old coins into cash — simply, fairly, and without the runaround.

Meet Richard

Hi, I'm Richard LeBlanc, and I run SellMyCoins.ca. I'm a Canadian coin enthusiast based in Ottawa, and I started this service to help people turn old coins into cash without the hassle of dealers, auctions, or complicated processes.

I grew up on military bases across Canada before settling in Ottawa, where I now raise my family. By day, I work as the Executive Director of a social service organization — but I've always had a deep passion for Canadian coins and the history behind them.

When I'm not working or looking at coins, you'll find me watching hockey or Canadian football, or spending time with my family — including my daughter who plays ringette. I understand that many people inherit coins or find old collections and simply want a fair, stress-free way to sell them. That's exactly what SellMyCoins.ca is built for.

Why I Started This

Over the years, I've seen too many people struggle to sell their coins. Dealers can be intimidating, auctions take forever, and it's hard to know if you're getting a fair price — especially if you're not a collector yourself.

I wanted to create a service that's transparent, fast, and easy to use — especially for people who inherited a collection or found a jar of old coins and just want to know what they have. You start by uploading photos with no commitment, and I provide an honest appraisal based on real current market values.

You're dealing with a real person who genuinely cares about making this process simple and fair. Not a corporation. Not a pawn shop. A Canadian collector who knows the market and treats every collection with respect.
