I'm thinking about purchasing a 1935 Canada dollar, which I understand is a 1-year type coin. I wonder if anyone can offer a ballpark price I can expect to pay? I'd be interested in a coin ranging from choice AU up to choice mint state and would like to have an idea of how the price escalates as the grade goes higher. Would an MS-65 coin be extremely expensive?
Thanks for your input!

Since I don't own this year, I'll just go by my Charest catalogue, which I find reasonably accurate. It lists an AU55 for $33 but an MS65 for $430. I've been happy with ICCS graded coins; they grade conservatively. If you want a source, currently J & M in Vancouver has an MS60 (ICCS) for CD$50 and $130 for MS64 (ICCS). Not an ad; I've just been happy with my dealings with them.  Edited by KurtS

Lately, MS-65 seems to be going in the $600 range at shows I have been to

Uncirculated silver dollars come in three "grades" - Regular, Gem (also refered to as Premium Quality) and Ultra Gem (also referred to as Premium Quality +). "Regular" MS65's can be had for about $200 CAN on ebay. One in Ultra Gem can be had for about $550 to $600. A Gem coin has exception luster and appearance. An Ultra Gem has exceptional luster and appearance and nearly looks like the next highest grade. A Gem MS64 would be a nice coin, and it can often be had for about $150. Note that ebay prices can be all over the place at times, depending on how many collectors are interested in an item at any given time. |

Gentlemen, Thanks for your replies. For my money, it looks like a choice MS-64 example will offer the right balance of quality and price. I'm not really interested in stretching another $300+ to get one more grading point. I just lost out on a nice-looking coin on ebay graded MS-64 by ICCS which I understand is a very reputable grading service. My bid was $95 US and it went for $96 (plus a $15 shipping charge). It appears that with a little perseverence I should be able to snag a nice example of this attractive coin for about $120. I'll keep looking! |

$96 for an ICCS MS64 is a very good price! Another opportunity will happen--good luck! |

I agree, $96.00 for a MS-64 is a good price.
Keep watching, I picked up mine a AU-55, for $20.00

anyone here subscribe to CCN? they have a decent trends guide and of course I don't have it in front of me, but I would not spend more than $75-80 on an MS63 1935.
