Thanks in advance! 1929 10cent 1952-2002 50cent 1972 Dollar 1988 50cent * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

You can visit your local library for borrowing some coin books and do your research. Or buy the coin book at book store. That's what I do when started this hobby last year. But never trust all the information in there (Prices) . Prices are different from the current market (which changes everyday). Cheers Edited by BiBo 04/04/2013 8:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Good luck Report this Post to the Staff

kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 04/07/2013 2:13 pm Check out this web site for prices of circulation coins. It also includes a (partially complete) grading guide with example pictures to help get you in the ballpark. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php From the pictures you show, the 1929 dime might be a VG8 and might sell for $1.75-$3. The 2002 50c is the Ascension variety with the Imperial State Crown portrait; $0.50-$1.50. If the 1972 nickel dollar is a proof (it looks frosted in the picture so might be) you might get $3-$5 for it. The 1988 50c maybe $0.50-$1. Report this Post to the Staff
