What details to look for on these Can. dollar coins

Post by Hot Brass » Sun Jun 25, 2017 7:04 pm

Just wondering what are the main details to look for when comparing coin details from the following years of Canadian silver dollar coins:
1935-1936-(canoe,trees in background,parcels in canoe,front canoists muscles outline,lines around frame on canoe,etc??
1937-1952-??
1953-1986-??
Maybe there is a link showing these? Thanks,HB

Hello HB,

What you ask is impossible in simple words or paragraphs.

There are books that have been written about errors and varieties on a mixture of coins including the Canadian Silver Dollar.

Have you not looked further into this website?

Start under the Canadian Coins drop menu (at the very top left).

Select

Canadian Coins
- Price Guide and Values
- One Dollar
- The years you want

http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices. ... -1935-1936
and
http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices. ... -1937-1952

There are plenty of pictures of the coins, errors and varieties.

Also buy Charlton's soon to be released 2017 book on Canadian coins with all the newest updates.

I don't know where you live however I suggest you also look for a local coin club and join it.

If you happen to live in or near Calgary we have a meeting tonight at 19:00 at the Hillhurst - Sunnyside Community Association on 5th Ave NW, Just 2 short blocks east of 14 St NW (at the bottom of the hill from SAIT.

Good luck
