Imre Horvath New Member Canada 2 Posts	Posted 08/31/2010 3:39 pm I was given all these coins by my former boss, excluding the 1956 penny I found. I know nothing about coins and would like some help to distinguish if I got anything note worthy.

malibu Valued Member Canada 304 Posts	Posted 08/31/2010 4:43 pm You need to determine which of the dollar coins are silver. The silver ones are worth more. If it is NOT magnetic, its silver. If its magnetic, its nickel and not worth much. The silver dollars in mint state are worth about $10. Beware of dealers, they might offer you 2x face for everything whereas silver is worth 8x face. It could be worth more depending on the variety. For example, if the '74 dollar is a double yoke variety its worth $$$. Can you post a picture of it? We need to see a close-up of the head of the ox in the first '0' in 100. See also: http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/...llarVars.htm Report this Post to the Staff

cdcoinman Valued Member Canada 372 Posts	Posted 09/01/2010 08:11 am Looks like you boss was a collector of 1 and 5 cents.You will have to sell the individual pieces from these incomplete sets as they will not be consider sets anymore. Report this Post to the Staff
laconic Valued Member Canada 168 Posts	Posted 09/01/2010 09:50 am ebay is probably your best bet to guage prices. They have a "Proof/Prooflike Sets" section to compare your uncirculated sets. You could pick up the latest Chartlon coin catalogue at the library and see but the prices are usually off for what they actually sell for by 50% or more at times. For individual coins, the Canadian Coin News (at any Chapters magazine section) is good. Report this Post to the Staff
