DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 02/20/2013 11:02 pm It's not a loonie,it's a silver dollar.No loonies were minted before 1987. Grade is too low to be collectible,however it is worth about $17 as bullion.Good buy! "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10459 Posts	Posted 02/21/2013 08:02 am If you bought that coin from your friend, who is your "friend" in the true sense of the word - then you owe them about $12 more for that coin. It is the silver content that dictates the value of low grade dollars (before 1967).
