Canadian Silver Dollar Coin

Well something is wrong here because the first Canadian silver dollar struck for circulation was in 1935 and there is no commemorative dollar from 1960. You must have what is called a trade dollar that was made for a celebration by a city or group. They are very common in Canada. The usually have a date on them that they are good up to. They are a private mint item not a Royal Canadian Mint item. There are thousands of them from British Columbia to Newfoundland. I have a lot from Prince Edward Island as well as Nova Scotia. They usually sell for $4-$20 depending on how rare it is. I do not have a catalog of values for these items but one is out there. Best I can do here,

With real coin shops they take about 30-50% of the value. In my opinion.

I have a huge amount of Canadian silver dollars that I inherited & I want to display them on the wall in my sonns room, is there a product for this?

If you live in Canada check with some coin dealers there. The Canadian silver dollars, the large ones are 36.06 mm in diameter where as the U.S. silver dollars up to 1978 are 38.1 mm in diameter so dollar wall frames made here have holes that are to big. Most of the older Canadian dollars are collector items and have a large collector base in both countries. In Canada you can try J&M Coin email them at coins @jandm.com. You can also try Gatewest Coin www.gatewestcoin.com, the only email address I have for them is usa@gatewest.com. Please find a system that preserves the collectability of the coins and never clean them. Hope this helps.

Hello,

I collect Canadian silver dollars, especially Proof Like coins. The big grading service up here is ICCS, but a lot of PCGS coins are around also. How can I get a population report on Canadian coins by PCGS. I have written them (PCGS) and they don't respond. I have read it can be found on the Heritage Auction site, where I go often, but can't find it. Anyone got any suggestions? Anyone got any top flight Canadian silver dollars they are tired of?

Thanks

from PCGS

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

<year> 100 Canada gold coin Queen Elizabeth Silver Jubilee

and ye shall find.

Good luck, Cincypix.
