satxwd Valued Member United States 321 Posts	Posted 12/11/2011 7:31 pm Hi. Around here ( San Antonio) coins from Canada are usually thrown in junk boxes or silver melt boxes. In other words, I can get a lot of that for cheap and dealers don't even look at the coins much. What are some key dates to look for the next time I'm looking through the melt boxes? Say one cent through one dollar coins. Report this Post to the Staff

Max L Valued Member Canada 258 Posts	Posted 12/12/2011 12:32 am Just a quick list would be : 5 cents : 1908,1915,1921, 1947 dot,1963 coinage axes, 1964 coinage axes and 1964 extra waterline, 1965 large/detached jewel. 10 cents : 1908,1915, 1948. 25 cents : 1906 small crown, 1921,1927, 1936 dot, 1947 dot, 1948, 1955 Double die, 1973 Large bust. 50 cents : to be honest if you find any fifty cents 1936 and below in a melt box it's a great deal. 1946 hoof through 6, 1947 maple leaf curved 7, 1948. 1 dollar : any 1947's, 1948, 1950 arn, 1951 arn,1952 arn, 1955 arn, 1957 1 water line and 1966 small beads. I realize some of these are nickel so they most likely will not be in a melt box but it's always good to know! Report this Post to the Staff

Barrie Valued Member Canada 227 Posts	Posted 12/12/2011 1:04 pm For Canadian cents... some thoughts: Pre 1900's have value. Others: 1907H, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1929(High 9), 1944, 1948 (A to small Denticle), 1949 (A to Denticle), 1953 (Shoulder fold), 1955 (No shoulder fold), 2006 (Magnetic). Good hunting.
