I did see your post above. Being packed in a coin roll would account for minimal contact marks from coin to coin hits. You see a lot of bag marks like that on the Morgan dollars that were stored in mint bags. The type of wear I am referring to is the wear on the high points from being in circulation. In other words the designs (high points) being worn down from repeated handling. |

doubleeagle59, thank you but there is no need to apologize. I appreciate your input!
Thinking about it I wonder if many of these dollars were just keepsakes. From what I can see the reason for these dollars being special was twofold. First, the 1935 was Canada's first Dollar coin minted for circulation and secondly, the fact that it also marked the 25th anniversary of the accession of King George V may have made it desirable to put away. At any rate is doesn't seem that many were used in normal, daily commerce. Of course this is just speculation on my part. If there is other information out there I would be interested in hearing about it.

i consider the 1935 Canadian ag $1.00 a masterpiece.. 1935 THE FIRST SILVER DOLLAR The first silver dollar issued by the Royal Canadian Mint commemorates the silver jubilee of His Majesty King George V. The coin's reverse design, by Toronto sculptor Emanuel Hahn, portrays a Voyageur and an aboriginal paddling a birch-bark canoe. Faint lines in the sky represent the Northern Lights. This admirable design served for decades, an enduring reminder of Canada's early history. TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Composition: .800 silver, .200 copper Diameter: 36.00mm Weight: 23.33g Edge: Reeded |

I have been tracking Canadian silver dollar sales on ebay auction (NOT Buy it Now), just auction, for the last three years. In case you are interested, the average prices for 1935 TPG (such as ICCS, NGC, etc.) are as follows, including shipping: AU50 $40 AU55 $45 MS60 $55 MS62 $69 MS63 $71 MS64 $106 MS65 $211 Prices are in Canadian dollars. In most cases these prices are near or above Trends so an indication that although this is not a rare coin, it is sought after. Edited by punman

Hello again, thank you for the great information. I have a question about grading. The collection I recently acquired seems to have many coins that have errors or are of a different variety than the norm. I am trying to value and catalogue the collection, and it seems graded coins have more value. So my questions are; how do I go about getting at least the error coins graded? Also, when searching different varieties I've noticed some of the errors I'm finding aren't listed on coins and Canada. Is there another online resource that I can access to see more errors and varieties? Thanks in advance for your input |

it seems graded coins have more value Some people will pay a little more for graded coins but if you pay $20 to get a coin graded and then sell it for only $9 more than average, it does NOT have more value for you, the seller. I am not saying never get a coin graded, just pointing out that it might not always make you more money. When completing my silver dollar collection, I bought my 1945, 1947 ML, and 1948 all graded by a reputable third party. When I kick the bucket it might make it easier for my family to sell these without getting taken advantage of. Edited by punman

I send my error coins to be graded at CCCS. http://www.canadiancoincertificatio...m/index4.phpBut before doing that I would suggest posting some of them on the error section of this site, so the experts here can give you their opinion on whether it would be worth it to get graded. |

 sounds like you have a promising lot, but it would be wise to get opinions. |

I'm getting a bit better at using the image optimizer so this is the same coin. Slightly better pictures with the exception of the reflection of my phone, which I think is taking away from the lustre.   Edited by Canadian coins
