Good Evening,
I bought a large amount of Canadian Silver around the millennium.
Majority was 1963-1967 Proof Sets in the Yellow envelopes.
Next was bags of what they thought were "junk"
Low and Behold My your son unearthed a few bags in house and asked "where did all this money come from?
Since we are the cashless fiat world, a bag thats two feet tall was a surprise to both he and I.
Most of the coins are QEII or George V and VI ten and 25 cents.
Lots of Half Dollars and Dollars as well. Some Victoria, but definitely the smallest piece
At the bottom of the bag we found a few hundred maybe 300-500 of the tiny 5 cent silvers, again mostly George V followed by Ed and some Victoria. Since I bought all of this years ago when Silver was $6 an ounce, I have never owned a price guide, but obviously have looked on
ebay or google.
when I looked up some of the Victoria Coins , I noticed huge price diffs for different obvereses or other tiny things I have no idea of.
if any of you can tell me, or better yet show photos of what the different obverse types look like, I would appreciate that very much.
I would note that most all of these coins are lower grade say between AG - VF for Victoria
The Edward probably up to xf or au
got a few gens from george v
quite a few from george vi
and tons from QEII
i have figured out what most of the other errors or varieties mean, but obverese, I have no clue.
My son is four, but has looked and played with coins since he was 2.
I ordered him a magnifier and I told him this was his job as long as he wanted it. Explaining numismatic terms to him may be difficult as he is only 4.
Thanks Again
Best,
SQ
