Century Stamps & Coins

The finest in stamps, coins, paper money and gold and silver. Family run business since 1946. We always pay fair prices ! Century Stamp Co. Hakim. W. Ltd.

Ltd was established in 1946 when it opened its first retail outlet in a rented mezzanine in a large bookstore in Heliopolis, Egypt. Owned and operated by Emil N. Emil started collecting stamps in 1933 at the age of 7, when a relative gave him his first album. By the Age of 12 he started dealing professionally with stamps, by buying and selling to the local stamps dealers in Cairo, Egypt. After mov

ing with his wife and kids to New York in 1963, he established a mail order operation from his house by advertising regularly in Linn’s Weekly Stamp News. Mostly dealing in Egypt and Greece stamps, he eventually became quite successful and started to grow. In 1971, Emil moved to Canada. Shortly after arriving he opened a retail store at the Sheridan Mall in Mississauga, Ontario. His wife was appointed the store manager until his two boys finished their schooling. At that time Sam (Emil’s youngest son) was also helping at the store in his spare time, slowly becoming quite astute in philately. During the time at the Sheridan Mall, Emil used his substantial personal stamp collection as a loan stock. Which was painstakingly smuggled from Egypt to London, England, and then mailed from London to his brother in New York. In 1978, his son Sam joined the company on a full time basis. Having grown up immersed in stamp collecting and philately, he gained a great deal of experience and knowledge. With Sam’s help the business grew steadily and in 1982 they moved to a new location on Lakeshore Rd. in the Clarkson Galleria Mall. \Eventually growing out of that space, in 1996 they moved to their own property and building just a few doors down. This is where we operate today, at 1723 Lakeshore Road West, Mississauga. In August 2000 Emil Jr. joined the company on a full time basis, as he also gained a great deal of experience in philately, through years of growing up in the store. That makes three generations serving our faithful customers. Success does not come by accident. It is the reliable and friendly service we give each and every customer, together with integrity and honestly, is what we consider the backbone of our business. This is how we earn the trust of our customers, many of which have been our customers for over 25 years. has grown to offer stamps and coins from all over the world, gold and paper money, comprehensive supplies stock, internet auctions and now a fully working and sharp website (centurystamps.com). Sincerely,

Emil N. Hakim, Sr. - 1st Generation (1926-2020)
Sam E. Hakim - 2nd Generation

Call, Email, Google, Facebook or Instagram.
DO NOT trust anyone or any business that has contacted you through whatsapp or asks about a collection/coins/etc directly.

Neat little piece !
A 1979 cent struck on a dime planchet.
These are fairly common but always nice to have.
Especially in nice condition.

Nothing better than chartered banknotes!
The engraving on these is unparalleled.
Only a couple people in the world can engrave like this these days.

Enjoy!

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our founder, father and grandfather Emil N. Hakim.
Emil Sr passed away on May 18th, 2020, in his 94th year.

Emil Sr. founded Century Stamp Co. in Egypt in 1946. Moved his family to New York in 1963 where he continued the business through mail order while working a full time job. In 1971 the family moved to Mississauga where Century Stamp Co. Ltd became a full time business, going from shopping mall, to rental retail space to our own building in 1996. Where Emil Sr worked full time until his retirement at age 88.

He taught us that quality product and customer service were not negotiable and we have carried that through to this day. He left the business behind in our capable hands and we continue to grow it from the foundation he left.

He will be greatly missed.

Sam & Emil (Jr)
