In bulk lots of 10, 20 or more, they seem to sell well as junk bullion.

I guess I ask because Canadian Maple Leafs seem to have a lot of demand, but I guess the almost pure silver content helps.

Small beads? I'll have to look through mine..doubt I'm that lucky!

I bought these awhile back, and only recently did I decide to get rid of some of them. I do have a few of the Totem pole dollars, which I like more then the goose/canoe. Around here (Wisconsin) I tend to come across a lot of Canadian coins in roll searching (usually pennies, dimes, quarters).

Morgan and Peace dollars in VF/EF are in demand for bullion. Many stores sell out as soon as they get them in. I would think the fact that Canadian Dollars are 80% hurts. Look at how hard it is to sell 40% silver.

AZ-

Listed at $.99, but very little interest in them. Maybe I need to target Canadian buyers! I'm just worried because I have more of them, but if I don't get anything out of auctioning them, i'll just see what the coin shop will do for me.

Don't see any small beads.

I'll have to dig around, but I might even have an older Canadian mint set...

Hmm... Wiki shows that they are referred to as "loonies"?.. I need to brush up on my Canadian terminology. I've only been there once; the fishing is awesome (Ontario).

Nowhere in wiki does it refer to silver dollars as loonies.I don't recall anyone ever calling them loonies 'til you posted this morning.
It's equivalent to using the term..Susan B. Anthony greenbacks
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I'll sell them as bullion in the future. They all have small scratches/etc.

I love canadian silver dollars, I buy them all the time, I don't know why the purity of them would drive away bullion investors, I mean you can get au/bu coins at about spot and in a far easier denomination to work with (.6oz ag)than american silver dollars. Plus the designs are very cool.

I love Canadian SD's. I just did a quick check on ebay and only found one 1967 going for under 20 bucks and it had 29 minutes to go. My experience in watching these marvy coins is that very very seldom do I see them going for less than $20.00. Even buying from a dealer it is hard to get them to go less than 20 and that is when buying more that one or two at a time.
