Coin Collections

News: Registration is free here at the CPMF!

I have my own childhood coin collection folders (those blue heavy cardboard books, commonly sold in stores empty of course) Canadian Dime 1937 to date (whatever date that was), Canadian Nickel 1922 to 1960 and 1961 to date (whatever date that was) along with my childhood collection of never circulated Canadian paper money from 1960's and the old silver coins from 1960's and 1967 collection.  Is it better for me to sell each dime and nickel individually?  Also, what is the value of the never circulated 1960 Canadian paper money?  Thanks.  Kathy

I would recommend visiting your local bookstore or go online and purchase the Charlton standard catalogue of Canadian Coins 2013 67th edition. This book will be very usefull in determining the value of all your coins. It is important to note that all 10¢, 25¢, 50¢ and dollars dated 1968 and earlier are worth higher then face thanks to their silver content.

Hi Kathy,

Everything has value......some things have little value some a lot. It's impossible to tell from your description if you have anything of value....are the coin folders still empty or are they complete,do they contain the "key" dates or are these missing as is usually the case. The 1960 paper money you refer to,is it 1967 $1 bills?if so there were million printed and horded and they have little monumental value. Having said all that there are the annomolies that appear occasionally in collections that have been put away for years. Those that may apply to your collection....1925 & 26 5 cents,1968 large date 10 cents,1967 replacement bills with an asterisk,there may be others.
If you can give us a better description of what you have with dates and in the case of bills the serial # with prefix would be helpfull

Hi Kathy,

1968 large date

Did you mean 1969 Large date 10 cents? These are the ones worth $10,000+

I would recommend visiting your local bookstore or go online and purchase the Charlton standard catalogue of Canadian Coins 2013 67th edition.

You can also find copies of these catalogues in your local library (just a thought) if you'd like to familiarize yourself with the approximate value of your collection.
