Hello, I recently inherited a coin collection. I do not have coin knowledge but in my research I realized that the first step would be to grade them. I have this coin and lots of others but would like to know what this one would be graded? Thanks in advance for your assistance.   |

For me its G or VG, book value of around $22 to $35. This coin has a low mintage of 32k. If I were going to buy it, I would offer $15, because everyone wants a deal and no own wants to pay book value, unless its the highest grade. Here is a link that can help you out. This site in all, will help sorting things and giving you a value. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...ctoria&id=71I would say yes grading is important, but you should look at dates, see if they're any key dates (how rare the coin is), then I would go to condition. Please post more, I like this sort of stuff. |

 to the CCF Nice to have another member from Southern Ontario. If you have more Canadian Coins you want graded, suggest putting them in the Grading Section in the Canadian Coin Forums for more attention. Also when you post photos, please post them right side up and larger to get better results. You can crop them by using the Free Image Optimizer. |

1871 Newfoundland 10 cent

1883 Canada 10 cent
1887 Canada 10 cent
1888 Newfoundland 50 cent
1890 Newfoundland one cent

Price range depending on condition. You will see how condition is a big part of collecting. 1814 Half Penny Wellington (not sure if it's cdn) It is canadian price range $10-$85 1852 Province du Canada $29.99-$56.94 1861 New Brunswick one cent $93.80-$580 1871 PEI One Cent $2.50-$57.20 1871 Newfoundland 10 cent This can be your gem. I would like to see a picture. This can have a value of $100,000. It has the front of a canada 10 cent and the back of the Newfoundland 10 cent. The rarest of all the Newfoundland coins. 1874 Canada 10 cent $8.70 - $3,430 1883 Canada 10 cent $24.55 - $3,740 1887 Canada 10 cent $23.20 - $8,200 1888 Newfoundland 50 cent $22.10 - $63,700 1890 Newfoundland one cent $1.45 - $5,900 1900 one cent ( it's a reddish color) $1.20 - $6,000 1902 one cent (also a reddish color) $.80 - $360 Fun stuff  If your feeling in the Christmas spirit, I'll take that 1871 Newfoundland 10 cent as commission for my work.  |

Thank you so much! You just saved me hours of trying to figure the value and whether it was worth the amount of time it takes me to use the optimizer. Honestly, thank you. I have doubles of some, not the ones on the list, let's make a deal  Attempting pic of 1871 one cent now. |

All those values are from coinsandcanada.com condition is everything and can easily go below those values listed as they can be worse or problem condition(cleaned, hits, holed, bent, etc) and also aren't market value. The 1861 Brunswick cent prices listed above are actually Half Cent prices, the 1 cent is worth substantially less. Would be very interesting(and good money for you) if you have an authentic 1871 Mule. I think were all looking forward to seeing a picture. |

Hello again, so I was super excited at the thought of me having a rare coin but after searching for the coin ( I don't know my collection yet) I realized I had made a typo in my new spreadsheet. I do have an 1871 Canada 10 cent. I'm still very excited to have this collection and any insight you may have into the value grade of any of these coins would be much appreciated. 1938 NFLD 10 cent 1871 Canada 10 cent 1882 NFLD 10 cent 1861 NB one cent 1872 NFLD 20 cent 1899 NFLD 50 cent           |

The 1971 10cent I see above doesn't have Newfoundland on the back, it says Canada. I'm afraid its not the rare mule.
They all seem to be in circulated condition, nice coins. Keep posting please.

Hello again, I took a break from cataloguing the collection I recently acquired to celebrate Christmas. Merry Christmas! Some of the collection is in coin sleeves, in protective binder pages. But alot is loose coins. That being said I have found that I have two Newfoundland 1899 50 cent coins. One was in a protective sleeve and the other was loose. I don't know very much about coins but am learning as I go along. What is the difference between the two? One being deemed valuable enough to protect and the other not? Valuing the coins is proving to be a difficult task.   |

If you have a Chapters Book store or other store that has magazines and newspapers, look for a copy of the Canadian Coin News ... it has Trends prices for all your coins in there, by grade, but they are the full retail value. True value will be around 40-50% of what's listed. Or pick up an annual Charlton coin guide ... it will do the same thing.

There is two types of 1899 50 cent coins, One being a wide nine and the other being a narrow nine. The nine in reference is the last nine in 1899. The wide nine being more valuable in high grades. Both these coins are in low grade, the one not in protective sleeve is in nicer grade. Book value between $7-$14 each.
