If it's a Canadian $100 gold coin, the face value of it is $100 CDN if you choose to spend it.
What you're looking for is it's numismatic value, and that can vary based on the age, condition and rarity of the coin.
What year was the coin minted? Has the coin ever been used? Was there any mistakes when the coin was minted -- that is, was it double-struck (struck twice)? Does Her Majesty face the wrong way compared to the regular issue? etcetera.
Your best answers are not on the Web. A good coin dealer in your town can assay (figure out the value) of your coin and (probably) quote you a fair price.
But if the Web way's the only way for you, seek on Yahoo the following search terms

Good luck, Cincypix.
Do foreign gold coins (say, Canadian Maple Leafs and other countries gold coins) have 3 values to them? 1) collectors appreciation value and 2) Daily spot/market price of the gold itself and 3) the foreign exchange value. And also, do real gold coins (foreign in this case) fluctuate according to exchange rates (FOREX RATES) . It would seem to me they should have some exchange rate since they could be used as currency if you wanted to. I am not sure. Thanks
Yes and no. If it is a coin such as the Canadian maple leaf for example, it has no collector value. It does have a face value of $50 Canadian but it is a one ounce gold coin so the $50 is merely so that it can be considered a Canadian monitary coin, unlike the gold coins the U S produced that had pictures of artists, writers, etc. but had no monitary value stamped on them. They were very unpopular. Some foreign gold coins are collector coins and would have value as such, many times great value to collectors. Most of those such as the old French gold coins are no longer accepted as legal tender because of the reevaluation of French currency into Euros.

on the obverse of the coin is a profile of a female facing left. above her it says "victoria dei gratia". below her centered between two small leaves it reads "1867". on the reverse is "canada" at the top and below it a shield with a variety of pictographs in small boxes. the shield is surrounded by leaved branches. centered below the shield it says "100". to the left it says "1867" and to the right it says "1967". clearly it's a coin celebrating the centennial of canada, but i can't find it on any websites showing canadian currency and commemoratives. i'd like to know the actual title of the coin and its value. it is at least an ms 60. a link to a site with info on the coin would be helpful.

I am interested in buying some gold coins, like the American Eagle, Canadian Maple, etc.
I want to buy it for investment.
So it is it necessary/important that I get them in their orginally sealed state (as from the mint) and with a authenicity cerficate of BU (brilliant uncirculated)?
Or I can just get them in uncirculated conditions? and still be able to sell them with equal values as the sealed ones?
Thanks
Actually modern uncirculated gold coins sell for the value of the gold in them. They have little collector value unless the mintage that year is very small. That does not seem to be the case in the 21st century. An example would be the 1991 1/2 ounce which had a mintage of only 24,100 pieces. Some of the better off collectors are putting sets together but they are few in number but will pay more for the rarer dates. It used to be the box was important but a lot of people are having their coins professionally graded and slabbed so no box. On modern commemorative I notice dealers charge about the same with or without box. To me it is the coin that counts but I am not an investor. I have done very well being a collector and doing my home work so I know more about the coins I buy than the dealer and not let him know I do. I see little difference in price in the boxed or no box bullion items. Most of the time they are the same.

Gold Bullion Coins
Gold coins in the current financial climate are in high demand and for good reason. Gold coins have always been a popular way to hedge against inflation and for a balanced portfolio risk. Though coins made with gold have been produced ever since a coinage system began, the modern day gold coins are minted for collectors or to be used as bullion coins. A bullion coin is bought for its investment potential rather than its face value.
Why Gold?
Gold can be moved around the country quite easily, and with such high value compared to its weight makes it more convenient that other commodities. Gold itself can be reduced in size without losing its overall value and is more difficult to counterfeit and above all, with the worlds stock of gold being limited, the value of gold is fairly stable on the commodities exchanges. In 1933 the United States banned the private ownership of gold coins over $100, anything above this amount that they owned had to be handed over to the Federal Reserve, in which they paid $20.67 per troy ounce. This ban remained in force until 1974 when a bill in the US parliament allowed once again private ownership of gold coins in excess of $100. The reason behind all this was down to the Worlds monetary system and the Gold standard.

Its decline was then accelerated by the recent onslaught of financial bailouts, as many investors held a preference for liquidity and safety in the form of cash holdings guaranteed by the U.S. government. That was reflected in the skyrocketing prices of government bonds and investments in government-backed banks, which also lowered yields. But with the Fed's recent decision to cut its target interest rate to a range of 0% to 0.25%, the dollar has suffered a significant decline. Suddenly, foreign investors who were scooping up dollars have cut back on their flight to safety, knocking the dollar index ( NYBOT: DX) down 10% in the last month. The index reflects the dollar's...
