1964 Canadian Coin

I have a bag of 100 - $1 dollar Canadian coins. They are in mint condition, the bag has never been opened and still has the original seal on it from the mint. I am curious as the the value of this. Any help? It appears the year is between 1964 and 1968.

!968 would be worth less than 1964-1967 because it's the first year that silver content was reduced to zero. Before that, dollars were 80% silver. Bullion value alone for 100 silver coins is currently roughly $800. A sealed bag form the RCM would carry a premium. I would guess the bag is worth at least $1000. Check with a dealer specializing in Canadian coins. A bag of 1968 might be worth between $150 and $250.

you be free in a society where your currency is inflationary by default ? How can you be free in a society where your currency is a legal tender ...

I have a bunch of older US coins(and one canadian set) that I'm looking to sell. Does anyone know of any websites, books, or any other sources that give good descriptions of the value of coins? Here's a compressed list of what I'm trying to sell:

1981 to 1998 Proof/Prestige/Premier sets
1987 Royal Canadian Proof Set
Kennedy Half Dollars from 1964 to 1985
Silver Dollars 2000, 2001
Quarters 1976
Pennies 1863 to 1986

Any help would be appreciated.

To get an accurate value of the coins you wish to sell, you must know what grades, (for the pennies), they are. An 1863 penny can be worth $5 to $5000 depending on the grade. After that is done, you can check out books from the library, (you can check out the "Redbook" by Yeoman, it is the most important price guide), or simply go to a coin show and see what the asking prices are. If you do not want to go to this work, simply get bids from a few coin dealers as to what they will pay you for them. One caveat about price guides. They are never up to date completely, especially when it comes to bullion items, and they are retail prices, so expect for a dealer to offer you less.

Another good alternative is to sell them on Ebay. Yes, sometimes coins go too cheap, but most times they sell for what they are worth, and sometimes for more.

Except for coins that contain silver or gold, the value of the coin is mostly determined by rarity and condition. Your mercury dime is maybe worth a dollar, your walking liberty may be 5 dollars. If they are in mint consition they may be worth more. Your 1964 Kennedy half is 90% silver and worth maybe 3-4 dollars.
The 1896 and 1907 pennies are worth 1 to five dollars most likely. Can you read the letters of Liberty in the headband? Buffalo nickle mayby .50, 1903 Liberty nickle maybe a dollar (can you read Liberty in the headband?).
The Canadian is worth face value. The 1971Mexican peso might be 10% silver. I have no clue on the rest.

I've been looking around and trying to come up with some idea for the following coin and paper money values;

Canadian 50 cent pieces
1906, 1940, 1943, 1952, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965, 1966, 1968, 1969, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1976

American 50 Cent pieces
1927, 1940, 1941, 1945, 1971, 1973, 1974, 1977

Canadian Bills
$1 - 1967, 1973
$2 - 1974, 1986
$5 - 1979, 1986
$10 - 1971,1989
$20 - 1954, 1969,1979, 1991
$50 - 1975, 1988

Canadian banknotes: Face value unless they are in as new condition.
Canadian halves: US$4 each for the silver, face value for the 1969 and later halves. The exception is the 1906, which would be $10 or more depending on condition.
US halves: US $5 each for the silver halves unless they are in unusually good condition. Face value for the 1971 and later.

Check eBay: Canadian halves and US halves are separate categories. Canadian banknotes are listed under Paper Money: World.

i found a silver coin about the size of a canadian/american dime. i believe its middle eastern according to the writing style. it has what looks like a 1 in the middle of the reverse (though i also looks like a fang). its dated 1964. on the obverse its surrounded in writing. in the centre there's a crescent moon with a 5 pointed star in the opening. it's topped by two diagonal mirrored flags with the same moon/star combo on them. in the centre of the flag poles there is what looks to be a hand with the thumb and pinky fingers curved outwards. circling the centre are plant fronds kind of like Cesar's crown but its a different one on either side. if anyone can tell me where its from i'd be grateful.

I am pretty certain you have an aluminum 1964 (AH1383) Algeria 1 Centime, and the retail values are $0.25CAD in VF-20; $0.45CAD in XF-40; and $1CAD or more if like new. Thank you for a very detailed question.
