So I bought these coins for 12.52 cents per 1 dollar face value. I picked up all the oldest coins and I want to ask if this is a good bargain. Total cost: 122.26 sorry for bad photo but here are the dates: 10 cent coins: 1906, 1921, 1930. 25 cents: 1894 x 2, 1909, 1919, 1920,1934 50 cents: 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1916, 1918, 1919, 1929, 1931,1932, 1937, 1938, 1953, 1954. Sorry for bad photos   |

You did very well, the 1932 50 cent probably covers the purchase price, the rest is gravy. Nice pickup.

For the 80% silver coins it's basically 0.6oz ASW per $ face value. Current price of silver is about $21 so melt value is about $12.60 per $ of face value which is pretty much what you paid. For the .925 sterling coins you got a good deal at below melt. If you're interested take a look at the grading guide here http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-grading.php and the price list here http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php for more info. |

Score!
The 1932 50c looks to be VG-10; that alone is worth around $175.
The second 1894 25c looks VG-8; perhaps $50.

1932 50 Cent Just over 19,000 1932 50 cents were struck, only slightly more than the 1948 dollar. Since there were not thought of as anything scarce while silver half dollars were still circulating, most of them are now seen fairly worn and it difficult to find them grading above Fine. This is why in grades above XF-40 they are more expensive than 1948 dollars. 1932 .................................... VG-8 $147.50 1932 .............................. ICCS VG-10 $180.00 Reference: http://www.calgarycoin.com/modern/cd50cent.htm |

You got some very good collectible coins there, but it at about $14 per face dollar, not 12.52 cents... and silver is about $15.50 US or about $20 Cdn

You did very well on the lot. You got them very close to spot price. Older Canadian coins tend to fetch a small premium even if their classified as "junk" silver.
