I dont know alot about these coins so I have every intention of buying a few books on the subject. I have briefly scanned over a few bits of info and I'm very interested in attempting to start a set of these. Can anyone here recommend a reliable, trustworthy dealer in Canadian coins? Any additional info that anyone can provide would be deeply appreciated.

Were they 90% as well?   02-08-2008, 11:43 PM   #3 (permalink) indianhead Numismatist   Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: PA Posts: 3,685 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 They were .800 silver and .200 copper. Very reasonable in price compared to Morgans and Peace for the most part and very low mintages. Here's a dealer I have found already. Has anyone dealt with him yet? https://www.jandm.com/defaultsecure.htm Click on the "catalog" box in the upper left hand corner and then "Canadian Coins and rolls" on the left of your screen. Scroll down to "$1 Dollar Silver 1935-6 George V" to start.

I have one I think from 1958 it has the totum pole on it, nice design. I hear that there is only one that is more than $100 in MS-63. __________________ Roll Searching Since July 2007 2743 rolls halves 157-40% halves 39-90% halves   02-08-2008, 11:57 PM   #5 (permalink) indianhead Numismatist   Join Date: Jul 2006 Location: PA Posts: 3,685 My Mood: Blog Entries: 1 There are a few that are over $100 dollars according to the site I posted above. The real killer seems to be the 1948 dollar with a mintage of 18,780 that starts at $1,100.00 in VF20 which is a real bargain if you only consider the mintage. Obviously, there is no demand for this series, which explains the low prices.   02-09-2008, 12:15 AM   #6 (permalink) Tater Coin Collector     Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Utah Posts: 1,786 My Mood: I'm having a hard time navigating that site. From my memory your right the 48 is the key. The confussing thing for me is that there are so many commerative dollars that the canadian mint did along with standard issue dollars for circulation. I guess I need to do a lot more research if I was ever to get serious with this series. __________________ Roll Searching Since July 2007 2743 rolls halves 157-40% halves 39-90% halves   02-09-2008, 04:35 AM   #7 (permalink) snaz Registry fever     Join Date: Dec 2007 Location: Alberta, Canada Posts: 3,318 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Tater I've often thought of colecting the series.

I will certainly give www.colonialacres.com a try. It looks like they're priced very reasonably.   02-10-2008, 12:27 AM   #10 (permalink) mi chael Member     Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Posts: 118 My Mood: Quote: Originally Posted by Tater The confussing thing for me is that there are so many commerative dollars that the canadian mint did along with standard issue dollars for circulation. Don't worry too much about that because the commeratives were issued as standard dollars for the year. Before someone so kindly relieved me of the burden of having to deal with all that weight, I had a couple hundred that were pulled from circulation. Here's a Canadian dealer I trust - for both price and information.: http://calgarycoin.com/modern/canada.htm . __________________ michael No matter how cynical I get, I'm unable to keep up. :^>   02-11-2008, 01:10 PM   #11 (permalink) asciibaron /dev/work/null     Join Date: Apr 2007 Posts: 737 as for books - you really only need this: http://www.charltonpress.com/Numisma...=9780889683280 -steve   02-11-2008, 01:18 PM   #12 (permalink) asciibaron /dev/work/null     Join Date: Apr 2007 Posts: 737 Quote: Originally Posted by indianhead There are a few that are over $100 dollars according to the site I posted above.

Obviously, there is no demand for this series, which explains the low prices. actually, that price is high - it's quoted in CND and as the USD has weakened, the CND has come on par with the USD. you can get the 1948 in XF for $1,100.00 USD. there is strong demand for the coin, but realize that the overall demand for Canadian coins is not nearly that of US coins. if you want to collect a hot series, jump into the Newfoundland coins - bring your wallet and be prepared. -Steve   02-11-2008, 08:47 PM   #13 (permalink) Troodon Coin Collector     Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: Englewood, CO Posts: 1,804 Well I have the 1967 one lol... love the goose on the reverse... __________________ "It's a Sacagawea dollar!

I bought a couple at a coin show last month for less than melt ($10.00) both A.U. - They have a nice design, but for me it was cheap silver!   Page 1 of 2 1 2 > Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Tags canada, canada mint, canadian coins Would you like to support CoinTalk?
