I have some coins I want to buy ad I am wondering what a fair price is on them. My price guide only goes back to 1900 so I dont have anything to go by other than these 2 sites and I did not know how correct they are when it comes to value.
www.coinsandcanada.com
www.jandm.com
here is what it is

Canada 1917 1 Cent MS-63
Canada 1871 5 Cents Silver Fine
Canada 1872-H 5 Cents Extra Fine
Canada 1875 H 5 Cents Silver Almost Good: small date I think
Canada 1880 H 5 Cents Silver Extra Fine
Canada 1892 5 Cents Silver Extra Fine
Canada 1931 5 Cents Almost Uncirculated
Canada 1933 5 Cents Almost Uncirculated

hello :)

I can give you the values from charlton, but you would of course want to go lower than catalog value. Also, for a few of them there are more than one type of portrait variety so I am just going to tell you the value for both types.

Canada 1917 1 Cent MS-63  $75
Canada 1871 5 Cents Silver Fine $40
Canada 1872-H 5 Cents Extra Fine  $90
Canada 1875 H 5 Cents Silver Almost Good: small date I think $110
Canada 1880 H 5 Cents Silver Extra Fine  F2-$350  F3-$90
Canada 1892 5 Cents Silver Extra Fine   F2- $80  F5-$250
Canada 1931 5 Cents Almost Un-circulated  $40
Canada 1933 5 Cents Almost Un-circulated $$80


Maybe someone already has the photos loaded for the variety types. If not I will pop back in tomorrow and post some for you so you can tell what's what.

Hi !

A good idea " I thing" to have a value at low price it's to buy a coins news. No picture but for few dollards it can be a good solution for information on the price at very low price.

THanks !

i actually bought all this from APMEX when they had there sell. I paid 9.99 a piece for everything but the large cents. I paid 4.99 for them. looking at you pictures it looks like I have the F2 on the 1880H I will post a picture though to make sure. I am not sure on the grades of these coins looking at them now. But I would not say my 1892 is EF I will get an obverse picture of that also

any opinions on grade? I would say neither one are EF.
Maybe the first one is F-15 and the second VF-35

HI That is an AWESOME price. I tried to get in on that sale but by the time I heard about it all the good stuff was long gone. good for you!!
for the first one I would say F-VF and the type I think is F2 OBVERSE, 21 LEAVES NARROW RIM REVERSE
the second one I would think is VF35 - EF40 as the braid is worn to slightly flat but has not worn over and blended together.
that one I THINK is the F2 OBVERSE, 21 LEAVES WIDE RIM REVERSE.

I sure hope I catch that sale the next time it happens!
