hello, i need some help from specialist in coins, i've got Canadian gold coin 100$ from 1988, proof with certificate of Authenticity with wales or dolphions it's hard to say. The quastion is: how much it can be worth ? Thanks for help EDITED---No offers to buy/sell/trade in the main forum
Bowhead Whales? Total mintage listed as 52,594 in .583 gold. Actual Gold Weight is 0.250 troy oz. Canadian Coin News (V43, #2) Trends section says $150CDN. May 2005 Coin Prices says $125US. Put it on ebay. A dealer will only offer you bullion value.
Yes, Canadian Coin News is published 26 times a year in a newspaper format. Coin Prices is a monthly magazine. Another magazine called Coins has Canadian prices at least one issue a year.
Just to add my little bit, The coin weighs 13.338 grams and is .583 gold and .417 silver. The Charlton catalogue gives a value of $160.00 but the CCN trends price is probably closer to the current retail value. Bill
Given ebay listing and closing fees, as well as the time it'd take it list (as well as paypal fees if you take that), you'd probably be better off selling it to a dealer for a bit over melt.
