There are proofs from 1977 (and every other year from 1971 to today, for that matter), but I don't believe yours came from a proof set. Looks like...
The Elizabeth coin at the top is a British 5 pence, not a Canadian nickel. Can you take better pictures of it? I doubt it's a proof, but at the...
If I'm trying to sell the coin, I like the TrueView better. If I want an idea of what the coin looks like, I like your pics better.
Obverse is lightly circulated, reverse still appears UNC. Guessing PCGS went with 55 or 58, depending on their mood that day.
I do something that not many people do, and collect all modern circulating world coins by date and mint. Why? Because it's fun! I have a goal...
Oh, I thought you meant the 5 franc. You're completely right on the Mexican stuff.
All 1968s are copper-nickel, all 1969s are silver. To be fair, the face value of the copper-nickel ones isn't a whole lot lower than the melt...
That screams fake to me as well.
In 2009 they did a series of recent gold medal winners for a lead-up to the Vancouver Olympics. Each one came in plain and colored designs.
It looks like that date has been toyed with. It's likely an older coin. A real 2016 has a much larger date.
It seems to me like the values that are given are hard-coded somewhere, something like $2 for base, $20 for silver, and $1350 for gold iirc....
You may have searched by date, rather than by year. As a result, any coin from countries that use different calendars (like Japan, and most of the...
Yeah, unless it's a very nice uncirculated coin, it's worth its face value, which is just a hair over $2.
That's a D.
I like getting these when they pop up in the melt bin, especially since they sell for a bit of a premium online.
Like the vast majority of modern coins, they're only worth anything over face if uncirculated, and even then not much over.

I love the simplicity and consistency of designs in this series. It's easily my favorite 'national subdivision' series that any country has done...
Those are beautiful! I'd like to have one someday.
The 38-A 1pf looks to be cleaned/polished to me, but that could just be the lighting in the picture. I think the 24-J 10pf is cleaned as well....
