Post 1968 Canadian Coins

Before you even start collecting Post-1968, do yourself a favour and stick to what you are doing. Collect the Pre-1968 Canadian coinage, they are not only finer and scarcer pieces with a greater challenge to collect. Pre-1968 coinage is greater in demand and every Major Auction House:ie:Torex, Heritage Auctions, Lower Canada, G-B Auctions all deal with Pre-1968 coinage only. So right there, what does that tell you.
Also Population Reports for all major T.P.G.'s stop at 1967 for the most amount of detailed reporting (Good-to-MS-68), whereas Post-1968 is in a summary context.
Also Post-1968 coinage has staggering mintages that are at times mind boggling (1 billion +) when the Canadian population is only 31 million, LOL. You will never finish upgrading a Pre-1968 collection or acquiring every coin between 1858-1967 from all six decimals.
There, this is my reason for you continuing the Pre-1968 "real Canadian Coinage" and to stay away from what Numismatists call the Modern day R.C.M. junk!

WOW......................that was a relief to get outta my system!Glenn

It depends what you're looking for in a collection. I'm collecting toonies, because I can afford MOST of the varieties. I'm also collecting pre 1967 bullion. If it happens to be graded, or in decent condition, I'll pick it up for a small premium over the price of the silver content - but I'm not paying $500 for a medium-range coin - I'll pay $500 for the "best graded" coin in a year, though.

This way, I don't buy junk coins. They're either the top grade in their class, or they're worth their silver content.

There are some pretty valuable post-1968 coins in MS-65+ condition.

Take 1969 nickel dollar. That trends $250 in MS-65, and yet we know the uncirculated set is worth $3-$4.

All the early 1980s business strikes are surprising high trends for MS-65. I suspect this is where massive nickel coin production in the late 60s and all the 70s met lost collector interest, and now people are finding the highest quality business strike examples are surprisingly hard to find.

Although, at times, I wonder why people are willing to pay hundreds of times the price of a better quality (non-circulated) strike.

Grade rarity is a rather odd phenomena. I doubt it would apply if it was discovered there was one and one one example of a MS-62 of some coin. That would be the ultimate grade rarity. But, it wouldn't make it worth more than an MS-63+.

A super rare MS 62 wouldn't be worth more than MS63 coins if MS 63 coins were super common ... because you can always move down a grade.

A copy of the Charlton book will be helpful.

Everyone is going to have a different opinion, but here's the list of the only post-1967 stuff that I have kept: (still need the map mule)

25c 1973 large bust
25c 1999 September mule
25c 1999 November mule
25c 2000 Map mule
$2 1999 Nunavut mule
$2 gold coins - 1996, 1999, 2000, 2006

The rest of it doesn't do much for me, and I used to be an avid modern collector. There are piles of the regular date modern stuff in MS-65+ either already certified, or tucked away. I think a person is better off to focus on the silver-era coins.

1cent I believe all the coins you listed,except for the large bust are NCLT coins.
