sousrigi New Member Canada 1 Posts	Posted 05/14/2009 2:31 pm I'm not a coin collector but have come across several Canadian silver dollars and 50¢ pieces dating from 1940-84 along with some 1906-19 pennies and 5¢ pieces. How can I have the value of these 250+ coins estimated without doing each one individually by me (NO knowledge or time)without it costing me an arm or a leg. I hope this is the right forum.

Most of the non-silver coins will be at or close to face value (the large cents are about $1 each for common dates, unless they're in top condition). The coins from 1967 and earlier are 80% silver (92.5% for coins before 1919). The common silver coins will sell for around 10 times face value. Before you do that, take a peek for 1948 half dollar, as they are more valuable than your average half dollar. If you have silver dollars from before 1958, you may have coins worth a little more than face 10X face value, depending on condition. 1938, 1945-48, and 1956 are the main key dates, but there are others that might be worth separating from the group.
