I have inherited a box of approx 100 Canadian nickles from 1940-1946. They are all in good condition but were in circulation. Can anyone advise me on the approx value of a typical nickle from each of those years? Thanks *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Except for some scarce varieties, most can be had for less than a dollar (that's a VF-20 price). Full retail for some might be a little more than a dollar, but they are easily found and purchased. A great deal of them have been pulled from circulation and melted for metallic scrap, so it may be worth it to hold onto them for another 50 years.

Here is a link you might find useful, you can post photos here and get opinions of the group, but look at the link I sent first. Whatever you do, do not clean them, if you do, almost all value will be lost. The values in the link are probably 2-3x what you should actually expect to receive in most cases. http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-pri...ts-1937-1952 |

I also suggest holding onto them, as they are not worth much now.
I found some George VI nickels in a World coin dealer's junk bin here in the states yesterday for $0.25 US each, so I bought a couple. I think even that may have been a bit much.

I'd be checking the 46s... There is 2 main varieties to look for.
( neither one will make you rich but still worth quite a bit more than a regular 46)
The Arrowhead and the double 6. If you have those in better condition VF-EF-AU, you could be looking at $5-15 each.
Other than those 2, there's not too much to really look for but still worth hoarding for a couple decades.

It's a great way to start a collection, nickels are one of my personal favourites to collect and the 1946 varieties are fun.

Canadian Nickels are a ton of fun, cheap for the most part, still reasonably easy to find, and like someone else mentioned, coinsandcanada.com is a great place to get started, lots of information there. Enjoy learning and hunting!

I agree - nickels are a fantastic way to begin a collection. Inexpensive, lots of interesting varieties and designs, plus they retain their attractive appearance (as opposed to a dark and dingy old copper penny).

I have 3+ rolls of Canadian nickels and about VF to Au circ roll of 1948`s and a few 37-39 I have several BU steel/chrome that rusted light at edges. And I will look at my 46`s
Pacific coin, I may have to talk to you as I have had a set that isn't complete and work out a deal on what I dont have. Ive had them stored for many years and get a new album with slide covers.
