Wait ! Better examples abound. The 1948 dollar is not hard to find nice, they are just pricey.

the dings on the rim would turn this into at most a 500.00 coin.

John is quite right you can buy an off grade for 700-800 . ebay at 900 is in reality abt 775-800 when you take all the fees into consideration. The 1948 dollar is a very overrated coin and readily available any day of the week. It is just a "Name" coin that everyone knows thus popular = pricey. So goes supply and demand. There used to be a joke about the 48 dollar between dealers that went something like this of the 18,780 that were minted all 55,000 are still ariound.! Have a good one J |

these 48 were at toronto coin expo and at the guelph show at dealers booth, the only point that I wanted to make is would you pay 1000.00 for this damaged coin even if it grades au50?

I wouldn't even buy a 1948 unless it was choice, myself, and then I would need a deep discount. The 1948 dollar is a coin I just hate to stock! Lots of other neat stuff for far less that sells a heck of a lot better!

The 1948 dollar is a "money coin", that is, all it takes is money to find and buy a nice one. I concur with 54dollarcoins, wait for a better one, unless you can snag it for under $800.

I find the 1948 dollar extremely overrated as many members already stated above. That being said, you cant argue with supply and demand. Personally, I think that coin is worth $500-$700max

I'd say a strong VF with a couple of rim dings on the reverse.
Personally I don't think it a bad looking coin, opinions of other posters notwithstanding.
As noted, 1948 dollars are not hard to find, particularly circulated examples.
If you can get it at low VF money, go for it.

I would not buy a 1948 dollar unless I bought it from a reputable dealer and/or graded by ICCS or PCGS. Too many fakes going around.
Unlike many Canadian coins, the prices on 1948 dollars don't seem to be too negotiable. If you can get a certified VF20 under $1100 or MS-60 under $1700, I would consider it a good deal.

Canadian Coin has umpteen dozen '48's in holders and out of holders but they won't sell anything non-slabbed.
