Canadian Coins

For starters, if you count the sides you'll see it has 12 rather than 8 which makes it a duodecagon rather than an octagon.

1992 Canadian coins had dual dates in honor of the country's 125th anniversary. Assuming you found it in change it's only worth face value; over 673 million were minted so they're not rare.

As of February 2016, it's worth at least $9 for the silver. 1965 is a common date and only circulated for a couple years.

1901 is the last year that Canadian large cents were minted with the obverse design of Queen Victoria.

Your coin can be valued anywhere from 1 dollar to hundreds depending on condition. If you post a picture, or host a picture on photobucket I can look at it for you and give you a better guess on value and grade.

Take care.

Starting in 1968, Canadian dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollars were all made of nickel, not silver. It's worth one dollar in Canada.

Yes. Check this site. www.allensinc.com/coins/canadian/canadian_nickels.htm

The Royal Mint produced no Penny coins from 1809 to 1824 inclusive.

Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced.

To get an estimate of value on a privately minted token, you need to provide the details of the inscription on the token.

Please don't assume that every older coin must be made of silver. Canadian 5¢ coins haven't contained any silver since 1921. Since that time they've mostly been made of nickel or plated steel; during WWII they were made of brass.

Between $4 and $110. For a more precise value, please add the condition of the coin.

It shouldn't. Old silver quarters weigh 5.83 grams, nickel quarters weigh 5.05 grams, and modern steel quarters weigh 4.4 grams.

Assuming you mean a American Silver Eagle dated 1987 the value is the same as the spot price of silver at the time of sale, but right now it's $19.23, that's the spot price as type this answer.

The Canadian dollar is currently worth about $.94 US, so one Canadian cent would be worth .94 US cents.

As of 09-28-2007, around 40,703 Canadian dollars for 20,000 british pounds.

There are two varieties of the 1968 Canadian quarter. One is 50% silver with 50% copper, and the other is pure nickel. The easiest way to tell them apart is with a magnet. The nickel version is magnetic, while the silver/copper version is not.

NGC - Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (a prominent grading service) lists the Newfoundland 1888 50 cent coin (professionally graded and slabbed) as follows:

About the price of an ounce of silver; 14 dollars.

That's funny, the last time I checked the price of silver (5/1/11), it was $35.00 an ounce. This is a good investment piece, with an interesting history.

If you think about it for a few seconds, a kilo is the weight of a liter of water (i.e. half a standard soda bottle) so 6 kg is definitely not the answer.

But while 6 grams is a lot closer it's still not on the mark. A US nickel weighs exactly 5 gm, while current Canadian nickels weigh 3.95 gm.

The type of maple leaf that is on the Canadian penny is a Sugar Maple leaf.

While this is commonly excepted, it is not a maple at all. Maple leaves grow in paired opposite attachment along the stem, the penny has a two leaves attached individually. While the original artist may have thought it was a maple it is probably a London Plane Tree. I am referencing my university botany instructor on this one, but I verified this with phylotaxic diagrams.

After 1967, Canadian dollar coins no longer contained silver. 1968-86, they're made of pure nickel, and are still worth one dollar each in Canada.

Most likely any coin dealer. But beware that they will most likely pay very little since it is not a collectible coin.

They are listed in the Red Book at $28,000 in grade FINE, and over $100,000 in uncirculated condition. However, the coin would need to be certified (preferrably by PCGS or NGC) to verify its authenticity -- I'm sure there are a lot of modern copies out there that are worth a couple dollars or less.

The ship is a representation of the "Bluenose", a famous Canadian schooner. The artist, Emmanuel Hahn, used three ships including the Bluenose as his models, so the ship design is actually a composite.

1967 is a very common Dime. It is worth around 1 dollar in any condition below MS64. Then it starts bringing in a slight premium.
