  Without pics we have no idea what you have there. None of the dates stand out as rare or key. There is no 1867 10 cent, you must have made a typo. Everything is dependent upon condition and variety. Value of this collection could range from melt to many thousands of dollars. Post pics one or two coins at a time starting with the oldest. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

When you said you had two 1867 ten cent pieces, did you mean the 1867-1967 centennial ten cent pieces?

Your first pic appears to show a 1944 tombac nickel, one of the rarest of all Canadian coins.
Check all three of those nickels with a magnet please?

Oh and to clarify the above statement about the magnet, if the 1944 Nickel does NOT stick to a magnet, take a deep breath, put the coin in a safe place, and whatever you do, DO NOT CLEAN IT! Then come and tell us! http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...ts-1937-1952 |

Don,t forget that while it is one of Canada's rarest coins it is also one of China's most popular Canadian forgeries.

I'm not good at photos. Keep all coin pics 'perfectly parallel' to the camera lens.. ie:..NO tilted pics of your coins please.. Full coins and nice and round pics of the coins..egg shaped pics don't work.. ...and the more pics ,..the better.. ...fingers crossed for you here.. |

You have a pretty good amount of silver in your collection. I would suggest keeping the wrapped coins wrapped up. Their might be some nice high grade coins in there and you don't want to damage them.
1. Check out the coins and canada site listed above, but remember those values are high compared to actual market value.
2. You probably have at least $1000 in silver value
3. Condition of some of the 1930's and earlier coins will largely determine final value above silver price.
4.I would suggest figuring out what you want to do with them (keep, sell, collect, etc...)then start looking at how you are going to do it.
5. Thus board is a great resource. I started a similar way 7 years ago, and now hooked.

The 1964/1966 cents you have are very high mintage common coins...you would probably be best just to dump them in a coinstar machine. If your 1973 quarters are the large bust variety you have something there that is worthwhile. If they are the small bust you would be best just to spend them.
