Cross-eyed Pillar of the Community United States 849 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 11:25 am I'm going through some world coins trying to figure out what I have,and is it worth keeping in the main collection,or just put them into My 'it's nice to have,but not worth much pile'. I really don't know much at all about Canadian coinage and was hoping that you all might help.My Dad had many Canadian coins but I'll only list the ones He had in 2x2's.The rest are in a sandwich baggie and I don't know when I'll make it through all them. Anyhow,here is what's in the 2x2's.Does any of these need a closer look? 1928-5c 1952-25c 1953-Dollar 2-1968-Dollar 1971-British Columbia Dollar P/L Y-67 1972-Dollar P/L Y-580 1974-Winnipeg Dollar P/L Y-100 1975-Dollar P/L Y-580 1977-Dollar P/L T-2 detached jewel 1982-Constitution Dollar BU Y-115 2-1982-Dollar BU And there is this one.I don't even know what you call it. 1977-? Thanks in advance! Report this Post to the Staff

AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 12:28 pm The 52 25 cent has a high relief and low relief design. the high relief has a small premium. the way to tell is that the A's of GRATIA point to denticles. The 53 dollar has several versions, all around the same value: NSF "No shoulder fold", SF "shoulder fold" and SF SWL "shoulder fold - short water lines" The 82 constitution dollars have a couple, very rare/valuable varieties including a thin planchet and a coin alignment version. Good luck hunting and post pictures! Edited by AgHoarder 11/12/2015 12:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 11/12/2015 12:42 pm 1952-25c 1953-Dollar These two are silver 80%. I would look for Short Water Lines for the 1953 Dollar on the Reverse Shoulder Strap or No Shoulder Strap on the Obverse. There are 9 Reverse varieties and 3 Obverse Varieties of the No Shoulder Fold 1953 Type Dollar There are 3 Reverse varieties and two Obverse varieties of the 1953 Shoulder Fold Type Dollar 1953 was the first appearance of QEII on our coinage. Value depends on condition. 1928 5 Cents Sold on ebay F12 =$2.75, MS-65 $600. Two different dollars were made for 1971 BC Centennial - one 50% Silver, one Nickel. You can look all of these up on; http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php Have fun, great to have some inherited coins to look through.

DavidUK Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2624 Posts	Posted 11/13/2015 04:47 am Atlas is right about the 1977, it is commonly referred to as a "jubilee crown" produced in large numbers and virtually worthless even in the condition that yours is in (better than most) The Canadian stuff I am not too knowledgeable but I am keeping my eyes open and spying on the Canadian section to see what I can pick up :P Report this Post to the Staff
