Hi all,

I've been thinking of starting a Newfoundland $2 gold collection. I've done a little research and can see that the 1880 coin is likely out of my range for the time being, as I would prefer higher grade coins.

For starters I am interested in finding a nice 1885 example.
Besides ebay, where does one look for such coins?

What are reasonable prices to pay for them in MS60-61 condition?

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

Any major Canadian coin dealer should have one in stock. 1885 is a nicer date. Just make sure that you get a pleasing graded AU example (ICCS or CCCS). Good luck on your set!

Hi fellow Newfoundland $2 gold collectors,

Sorry for jumping into this discussion thread so late. I would like to connect and share knowledge with anyone that is collecting this series. I have done quite a bit of population report research & trend analysis that I would happily share with those who are interested. Just let me know what your NFLD $2 interests are (missing pieces & grading targets). I might see the item and happy to pass on info.

I'm looking for MS63+ level coins in years 1865,1880,1881 and 1872. Let me know if you come across any please.

Not sure if I can post spreadsheets with analysis here, otherwise happy to email directly what I have.

Best regards,
