OK I don't think any country has ever made an 14K gold Olympic coins so those are probably private medals and may just be 14K plated. The silver dollars possibly from $20 and up depending on date, mintmark, and grade. Can't estimate any closer from the information provided. The canadian dollars are pretty common unless they have a 1948. Value once again depends on condition figure $18 and up. The Buffalo nickels will probably be around 50 cents each unless there is a 31-S. The silver certificate is impossible to value because it doesn't give series or condition. The 1917 and 23 dollar notes are about $8 and up depending on condition. Bills from 35 to 37? What denominations, and we have never had a series of 1937 note. (Oops didn't see you were from Canada, they did have 1937 notes.) Shinplaster? Which one? Olympic silver coin sets What country? In short there really isn't enough information in the listing to come to any definite conclusions other than the fact that it sounds like a lot of common material. Edited by Conder101

I agree with Condor: sounds like common material.
So, put a value on your travel time and expenses and decide which items may be of interest to you. You may even leave before the auction starts.
Just because it is an 'estate' sale does not indicate heirloom pieces.

Estate sale bidders have a tendency to get carried away also.

Try to remember there are differences in Estate Sales and Estate Auctions. In almost every one of either that I've been to, most of the auctions are filled with people that are there to only boost up the sale prices. At Estate Salese, they are usually when a person had died or is moving. In either one, almost every relative and neighbor has already been there, looked at everything, purchased or just taken anything good.
There are those that have said they did great or OK at such Auctions but so far in real life, I've never seen or been to one. Good luck if you go.

You are right the $100 MS Canadian 1976 Olympic was 14Kt (1/4 oz gold weight), the proof version was 22Kt (1/2 oz gold weight).
Might be worth while to see if they have the proof, especially if you can buy it as the 14Kt version.

You would do better to post this in the Canadian section. Also look up the sold auctions on ebay for the items your interested in, as prices can be all over the place. I've seen some of the stuff go high, and other times for low prices, all depends on who's interested at the time, and of course condition. |

The Bank of Toronto and Bank of Commerce notes would be nice to have, the rest are common. You would have to know before the auction book value and pay nothing higher as book prices generally tend to be high but if they are in real nice shape bidders may want them for way more than book. If there are appraisal letters on every item, I would avoid.

The 1899 "Black Eagle" $1 silver certificate is maybe a good or worse.
Corners are gone,tears and folds.Papers looks like it would be pretty limp.
Hard to tell from pictures,but series date appears to be to right of seal
in a vertical configuration.

Research those Canadian dollar coins before previewing. Besides the 48, the 47 Dot, 51 2.5 Water Lines, and 52 2.5 WL are serious money in top grades; heck even the 47 Maple Leaf and 47 P7 aren't chump change. Are there photos of these?

The Black Eagle bills are very popular now, with Choice 55,58 bills going for upwards of $500+
That one is maybe good, but still about $75 ?

Some of the educational notes and especially the porthole bills are going for big dollars. This bill is not in the best shape, but with choice bills going for $300-$500, people are will to put up with small edge tears to have one of these bills in their collection. |
