twoods Valued Member Canada 222 Posts	Posted 09/27/2020 10:18 pm I am interested in buying a mint bag of Canadian coins (probably early 1960s Silver Dollars or possibly a bag of Silver Dimes)...I am curious as to any estimates of what these items might be worth...also, does anyone know how scarce these are as I have only spotted bags of pennies in my search so far... Does anyone know where I can find one of these items for sale? Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

DannysCoinsYEG New Member Canada 15 Posts	Posted 09/28/2020 1:09 pm I know of a few bags of silver dollars that are kicking around. Problem is, there is 600 oz of pure silver in a bag of 1000 silver dollars so it would be fairly pricey. Bags of pennies and nickels are much easier to obtain. I would search ebay, ask around your local dealers, call dealers around the country etc. I would think you can find some easily but that all depends on how much you are willing to spend. Hope that helps a bit Report this Post to the Staff

twoods Valued Member Canada 222 Posts	Posted 09/28/2020 10:49 pm Hi SPP-Ottawa, Sorry to hear no errors...how was the average grade of the coins...were there lots of Gems and Cameos? How many quarters are in a mint bag? Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10464 Posts	Posted 09/29/2020 2:47 pm You rarely find nice gem grade coins in mint bags... once they move around a few times, they all become "baggy"... I once opened a bag of 1963 silver dollars, and the best grade was a MS-63.
