That's like getting $99.80 US for just $80--for any you spend in Canada. Any silver I'm sure there's at least collector value in there--great score!

Without a hesitation I would have purchased for 80% of face. Amazing score, take your time and enjoy sifting it! :)

The larger coins are not tokens or medals ... they are coins. The dollar coins from 1968 to 1986 (inclusive) look like 100% nickel dollars, but you may have some silver ones among them ... it's possible. I do see some definite silver coins including some 1967 dimes. 1988 silver dollar (Ironworks- 50% silver) comes from a double dollar proof set (issue price $43.00 per set)and this coin was the only silver coin in the set. The 1988 silver dollar (Ironworks- 50% silver) weighs 23.33 grams with a diameter 36.07 mm. Its bullion value is approximately $12.00 and if it is in good condition it could sell between $15.00 and $20.00 per coin. Also you have two 1989 silver dollars (Mackenzie - 50% silver) comes from a double dollar proof sets (issue price $46.95 per set)and this coin was the only silver coin in the set. This coin has the same specifications and values as the 1988 coin. It also looks like you have a couple other silver dollars with same specs, but the larger picture was harder to identify. If you do larger photos of the dollar coins I can identify for you. Any pre-1967 dimes or quarters contain 80% silver and the 1967 dimes and quarters are 50% silver. I am from Canada and I would have given the guy $200.00 for this lot in an heartbeat. Great find, in fact just looking at your photos got me excited. You can probably get your $100.00 back on the silver coins only. I know what I will be doing the next time I drive in the United States.

@coinvet He actually has some old tokens, New Brunswick and Lower Canada in that pile. I can't tell what the years are but they are in with the georges.

Killer deal. He must not have many true collectors come in his shop.

Be sure to check the 1949 cents--a lot of US dealers don't know about the "A to denticles" variety.

Rolls of nickels from 1965 are going for 12 bucks retail and any penny rolls 1962 to 1957 can fetch 20 to 50 dollars in BU condition. Looks like a lot of fun, sorting out what you have, kind of wish I could give you a hand.

I have seen some great deals over the years, but this may be one of the best. You have the potential of profiting between $500 and $1000 from your $100 purchase. It would take some work to list individual coins and rolls on ebay, but there is a lot of potential to make some real money.

Check your 1965 nickels for the large beads rare varieties. There is the 1965 Large Bead detached bead and if I remember correctly there is an even rarer version...the 1965 large beads attached bead. I believe there is a thread or many on this forum about the 1965 large and small beads. Here is a god link to start with: http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...ts-1953-2012There is a lot of other great info for Canadian coins on that site.

Nice haul!
The 1922 and 1936 5c could get you $100.
Then the rest is pure profit.
Way to go!
