Can anyone refer me to some price listing for these coins; I just need a rough estimate - the coins are in average circulation (the picture is provided by a local seller; I think it's for the first 7 coins). She's asking 50USD for it.  Here's the list of coins: 1917 NEWFOUNDLAND 25 CENT, 1911 NEWFOUNDLAND 50 CENT, 1929 NEWFOUNDLAND 5 CENT, 1941 NEWFOUNDLAND 10 CENT, 1943 NEWFOUNDLAND PENNY, 1936 NEWFOUNDLAND PENNY, 1907 CANADA 5 CENT ( Royal Mint), 1956 & 1964 CANADA 5 CENT, 1971 CANADA CENTENIAL COIN, 1952 CANADA 25 CENT, 1980 CANADA SILVER DOLLAR, 1964 CANADA PENNY, 1964 & 1963 CANADA PENNYS, Thank you very much. |

Is that the only pic you have of these coins? Honestly, it's hard to pin down a value by that. A lot of NFLD coins are cleaned, and a few here look it to my eyes. Based on what I see, I wouldn't pay more than $30. --just my .02  |

Well, thank you for your opinion, I appreciated it.
She said her family is Canadian (she's the first American born) and they are from NFLD so those coins are from circulation (they are not "coin collector" per se). I'll take a look tonight or tomorrow.... any particular things to look pay attention for?
Thanks.

I would take a closer look at the silver NFLD, which carry the most value of this group. There should be toning in the legends around the rims--for all grades under UNC. Silver coins that look flat and gray, even in the lettering are a cause for concern. I'd check for tooling marks around the lettering too. Sometimes people take a wire brush to silver coins, which shows a discontinuity between shiny fields and gaps around letters. All these are fairly large mintages, so anything that shows dipping, scrubbing, or tooling gets knocked down quite a bit off CV. Well, that's just one opinion--good luck!  |
