The key to the series is the 1948 of which you can expect to pay $1000 just for 1 coin. After that the keys are 1947's, 1945, 1938. These being the most expensive with cost of nearly $150+ for each coin. After that the 1935 and 1936 are sought after. The years from 1950 to 1967 are typically common. Easily found in uncirculated condition for close to melt cost. Anywhere from $22 to $30 each. There are varieties to look out for in both 1955 and 1965. 1965 has 5 types - the 5th the most expensive but easily found with the detached jewel in the Queen's crown. When you go to a dealer, look at what they have available, sometime's in holders sometimes just in a box loose. Ask to see their junk silver container for other gems. Make plans to go to a coin show - if your in the USA - go to Coin World and they list shows by state and date. Lots of information is avialable on Canadian coins, go buy a used Canadian price guide - that way you save a little money so that you use it as a knowledge source. Consult Canadian Coin news for up to date trend pricing.
