North of 49 Pillar of the Community Canada 617 Posts	Posted 11/02/2017 4:31 pm I hope I'm in the right section for this question. Can anyone tell me how much value has been lost on this coin, or even if it has any value at all, now that it has become tarnished? I understand this was a common problem with this coin due to the foam packaging. Most of the damage is to the rim but there is also tarnish on the queens cheek. I would be grateful for any feed back. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 11/02/2017 4:42 pm Yes there is still value if you can find a buyer. Especially because most of them are damaged (or toned as some sellers prefer to say), it will be desirable to someone. This coin undamaged has sold for over $100 but can be had now in some stated of impairment for about the $40 issue price. There are some sold items on ebay of coins worse than yours that sold for more. https://www.colonialacres.com/produ...rebeaver.htm Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 11/02/2017 5:13 pm I had to look. Us US collectors rarely see a square beaver. I had no idea they existed. So your post can count as a "I learned something new today". Report this Post to the Staff

CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 11/02/2017 5:50 pm I had to go check on mine....removed from the foam when I bought it in 2012. Still looks ok. Report this Post to the Staff
Silveroid Pillar of the Community Canada 6768 Posts	Posted 11/02/2017 10:48 pm Great coin, CC-Ottawa Nice to see "old" valued coin, without being fancy, hot or overhyped. Report this Post to the Staff
North of 49 Pillar of the Community Canada 617 Posts	Posted 11/03/2017 7:33 pm That was a smart move CC Ottawa, yours looks great. Unfortunately I didn't check mine until after I heard that there was an issue. At least it's not a total loss. And lightly toned does sound a lot better than tarnished. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 11/04/2017 12:54 pm Mine sits in a PCGS holder, with no toning or tarnish... I had bought another one for my daughter (birth year thing) and left it in the case of issue... and hers is unattractively toned. I'll probably give her my nice one and wholesale the tarnished one.
