The weight of one US nickel is 5.0 grams so a kilo (1000 gm) contains 1000/5 = 200 coins (exactly).

The weight of one Canadian nickel is 3.95 gm so a kilo contains 1000/3.95 = 235 coins, rounded to the nearest whole number.

Between 20 cents and $3.60, depending on condition. Next time, if you include more information (the coin's approximate condition, if it is circulated or not, etc.) I can give you a more precise value.

$1 - $100 depending on the coin if it is a $100 coin it is worth $100 if it is a 50 cent coin.

If the cent was found in circulation, it is only worth face value. If it is a "proof" that was purchased from the Canadian Mint, it is worth about 1.50 retail.

8-10-11>>> None of the Bicentennial coins regardless of denomination or mintmark struck for general circulation contain any silver or have more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premiums.

Just like modern US $1 coins, modern Canadian dollars are made of a gold-colored base metal, not real gold. Your coin is an ordinary circulation coin worth face value only, about US$0.98 as of late 2010.

As of 02-05-2011, it is worth between 2.73 and 4.37 USD (Silver = 29.14 USD/troy oz). The lower number if the coin is 50% silver, and the higher number is 80% silver. Both %'s were minted that year of 1967.

Other than a density check or other analytical measurement, it cannot be determined based on appearance which you have. I do not know the total mintage of each percent type, but 48 million were minted total.

You may safely assume 65% silver on average for your collection, each valued at 3.55 USD.

It was made 1 year in a proof set. The value is set at (proof only) 17,500.00 for the rare mintage coin. Good luck finding one.

Yes, you should read more about the Yukon Gold rush. It was in late 1800's when all the Americans rushed up to the Yukon in Canada to look in the rivers for Gold.

Most of the dates from 1902 - 1920 are worth around a dollar up to about 35$ depending on what grade they are. It is impossible to tell you yours without seeing it in hand, or at least seeing a picture of it.

A R1 silver coin from 1967 contains about 0.400 oz of silver, work it out using the spot price..... just under R100

An Australian 1930 Penny is the rarest coin that has ever been released into general circulation in Australian history. Only 3,000 were minted and of those, 1,500 still exist and are trading in todays market. They are still arguing about why the 1930 Penny was released at all.

There are only 6 proof coins known to exist, 3 in museums and 3 in private collections.

Depending on who you choose to believe, a proof 1930 Penny might go for anything between $250,000 and $500,000 AUD. One of the private collectors has recently declined an offer of $1,000,000 AUD for his proof coin. Another has accepted a $650,000 AUD offer.

An Australian 1930 bronze Penny (George V), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to $275,000 AUD. If it is in less than mint condition, it might fetch as little as $18,500 AUD.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

Authentication and verification of such coins is vital. There have been replica coins, as distinct from forgeries, made. Any replica coin should have some indication on it that it is a replica.

The Australian 1930 Penny has recently been described as the "Holy Grail" of the coin collecting world.

R From past family history. 15 years ago my gradnpas friend was metal detecting and found one. he then sold it that week for 10,000$ cash. It was so much becasue at that time the war was hapening and the army wanted aall the silver so all the guarter dimes and nickels were destoryed for there silver.

In uncirculated condition, about five cents. 1968 pennies in circulated condition are only worth face value.

The value of an 1879 Canadian dollar depends on its condition. Such a coin in good condition is valued at about 24.82 US dollars while an uncirculated coin is valued at 42.88 US dollars.

25¢ to $1.00 depending on condition

Your coin is an unusual color because it was struck in tombac, a brass-like alloy that was used because nickel was a strategic war material. Despite its low value, your coin is certainly worth keeping as a conversation piece and memento of that long-ago conflict.

"V"

The "V" design has a double meaning - both the Roman numeral for 5, and the first letter of the word VICTORY. That letter was frequently used in wartime messages as a morale-booster. In fact, the Morse code symbol for "V" is worked into the rim design of the coin where there would normally be simple denticular marks.

It depends on the coin's condition: US$3.25 in Very Good, $8.50 in Fine, $17.00 in Very Fine, $50.00 in Extremely Fine, $300.00 in Uncirculated (MS-60), and $950.00 in Brilliant Uncirculated (MS-63).

The beaver is a symbol of Canada because that animal was very important to the country's early economy. Trappers went across the country to hunt them and bring back the pelts for use in clothing.

Generally, they're still worth one dollar in Canada, and can be exchanged at face value in any Canadian bank.

Silver coins dated before 1920 are sterling (.925%) silver.

Dollars, half dollars, quarters and dimes from 1920 - 1966 are all 80% silver by weight.

An easy calculation to figure out the pure silver weight:

Multiply .6 oz per dollar of coinage.

Example: $10 of 1966 dimes would be .6 x 10 or 6 oz's of pure silver. Multiplying the total by today's price would give you "melt" value of the coins.

25 cents

It is worth 1 Canadian Dollar

(it isn't gold, it is bronze plated nickel)

According to current exchange rates (December 2, 2009) 1 Canadian dollar is worth:

0.63 Euros

or

0.95 US dollars

1996 was the first year for the $2 coin, and it has the largest mintage of any year. It's still worth face value in Canada, which currently converts to $1.48 in US dollars (as of 26 May 2017).
