Canadian Coins

Between its face value and $5, depending on condition and type. Next time, if you include more information (the coin's approximate condition, if it is circulated or not, type/variation) I can give you a more precise value.

Such a coin does not exist.

Canada has not used the British sterling currency system since the mid-19th century.

These coins were issued in celebration of the Centennial and show a bobcat (lynx) rather than a cougar.

They were originally struck in an alloy of 80% silver and 20% copper but halfway through the year rising silver prices forced the Royal Canadian Mint to debase the coins to 50% silver. Roughly 24 million of each type were minted; it's difficult to tell them apart on sight.

An 80% silver version has a melt value of about 0.15 times the current price of silver while a 50% silver version uses a factor of about 0.10.

Silver prices change every day so any answer posted here would be out of date almost immediately. While it's not normal WikiAnswers policy to say "use the Internet", that's the best approach in this case. You can check a site such as k. for the latest conversion factors.

Canada discontinued making cents (pennies) in 2013 due to their low value and unprofitable manufacturing costs. The composition has changed many times over the years. The primary compositions were as follows:

2000-2012: 94% steel, 1.5% nickel, 4.5% copper plating

1997-1999: 98.4% zinc, 1.6% copper plating

1978-1996: 98% copper, 1.75% tin, 0.25% zinc

1942-1977: 98% copper, 0.5% tin, 1.5% zinc

1876-1941: 95.5% copper, 3% tin, 1.5% zinc

1858-1859: 95% copper, 4% tin, 1% zinc

There are a few ways to tell the difference between a 50% silver and 80%

silver 1967 canadian quarter. You can do a simple at home specific gravity test.

Do a search online on how to do it. Another simple way (but takes a little practice

and also having a good ear) is a drop test. Take a 50% silver quarter (1968 canada) and drop it from about 4 inches onto a hard flat surface. A computer desk

top works great. That surface will not harm the coin also. Drop it a few times until you get the sound down that it makes. Then compare that sound to your 1967 quarters. If alike then the 67 is 50% silver. If the pitch is higher in tone then it is

80% silver. You can also get an idea of what an 80% silver quarter sounds like by dropping an earlier year (1966 and back) quarter and use that sound for comparison.

This is one of the Canadian commemorative coins that were not made of silver and has very little numismatic value. If it is uncirculated and has no marks on it, it may be worth about $5 USD. Otherwise, at the market exchange rate, current to mid March 2009, it is worth $0.79 USD.

$1654 dollars go to a coin trade in place and you will get about that much that is whatt they said when i asked

Since there were so many of them minted, in circulated condition it has no added value. A nice uncirculated mint red one may be worth 5 cents. I assume you mean a U.S. cent ... even though we use the term penny, that's really a British coin ... and a "Penney" (with 2 E's) is a department store, LOL! 1962 cents are very common and still in circulation. Unless yours is in uncirculated or proof condition, it's worth face value. 1962 Lincoln Type, Memorial Reverse Cent, uncirculated is worth $0.10, Proof is worth $1.00.

The value of coins and paper money can vary drastically depending on year, condition, and stamping. A 1974 Canadian penny is worth between 2 cents and 5 cents.

None of the Bicentennial coins regardless of denomination or mintmark struck for general circulation have more than face value. Only proof and uncirculated collectors coins sold from the Mint have premiums

Hi there - The Canadian $1 CN dollar coin, lovingly called the "Loonie" is rolled 25 pcs to a roll or $25 CN / roll.. The $2 CN dollar coin called the "Toonie" also has 25 pcs which is $50 CN per roll.

The larger pre-1998 50 Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1998. So, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they have little or no value.

The range is from maybe 75¢ (retail) if very worn, up to around $6 if almost uncirculated

Canadian "Loonie" dollars are ordinary circulation coins and have no extra value, so their worth in the US depends only on the current exchange rate. Rates change every day so any answer posted here would be out of date almost immediately.

Similar to their American counterparts they're made of a brass alloy that gives them a gold color but they don't contain any precious metals.

Using the weight of modern steel quarters (2000 to present), at 4.4 grams each, six of the coins weigh 26.4 grams.

Anywhere from $5 to $250.

In the future please add a description or condition of the coin so I can value it more precisely for you.

The value of coins and paper money can vary drastically depending on year and condition.

As of 09/2014 a 1940 Canadian half dollar ranges in value from $9 to $24 in circulated condition, and from $38 to $900 if uncirculated.

A British 1945 bronze Penny (George VI), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £20 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch up to £5 GBP.

The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

You have a bullion coin sold for its metal content and not for spending. The current price of silver is about $18 an ounce.

The wording is typical of that uniquely Canadian practice of merging English and French phrases on either side of a term that's the same in both languages - "argent pur" is "pure silver" in French. You might see something like "jus d'orange juice" or "la compagnie de téléphone Bell telephone company" !

The mass of an 80% silver centennial quarter is 5.83 grams, whereas the mass of a 50% silver centennial quarter is 5.05 grams. ------------- I don't think that this is correct. The nickel quarter made in 1968-1999 is indeed 5.05g, but the 80% and 50% silver quarters are each listed as 5.83g. Since Silver and Copper (the other componant of Canadian silver coins) have different densities (10.49g/cm3 for Silver and 8.96g/cm3 for Copper), the 80% and 50% coins should have either different weights or different volumes. Doing the math, if an 80% coin had a weight of 5.83g, it should have a volume of 0.5725cm3; a 50% coin with a volume of 0.5725cm3 should then have a weight of 5.57g. Alternatively, if the 50% coin has the same 5.83g weight, it should have a volume of 0.5994cm3; this implies, assuming that the coins have the same diameter, that the 50% should be about 5% thicker, which I think would be tough to discern without a fairly accurate micrometer (and, of course, a knowledge of how thick the 80% coin is meant to be).

You are asking about a 1965 Silver Dollar from Canada (KM#64.1). The coin is 36mm in diameter, weighs 23.3276 grams and is 80% silver, giving it an ASW (Actual Silver Weight) of 0.600 troy ounces. The obverse (front) has a portrait of Queen Elizabeth the Second and the words "ELIZABETH II D - G - REGINA" (partially abbreviated Latin for "Elizabeth the Second, By the Grace of God, Queen"). The reverse (back) of the coin bears an image of two natives in a canoe in front of an island (the so-called "Voyageur") with "CANADA" above the image and "1965" and "DOLLAR" below it. 10,768,569 such coins were produced in 1965.

According to the Standard Catalog of World Coins, the coin is in most cases worth little more than its silver value (about US$10.71 with silver at US$17.85 as of May 4, 2010), with a numismatic premium of a dollar or two for particulary nice uncirculated specimans.

The exception to this lies in the fact that there are 3 sizes of beads just inside the rim of the coin (small, medium and large) and two versions of the "5" in the date (pointed and blunt). The combination of medium beads and a pointed "5" can be worth US$15-$40 in uncirculated condition. It is, however, very difficult for the casual observer to identify which size bead a given coin has, especially without a couple of examples to compare against. (One indication is that, with medium beads, the upright on the right side of the "N" in "REGINA" points directly to a bead, while it points between beads for both the large and small bead variety.)
