joshmck Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Hey I'm new to this site, and was wondering if some more experienced people could esitimate what a 1867-1967 Canadian Centennial silver quarter would be worth. My grandmother left me with roughly 300 or so of them in decent condition, and also with around 300 5 cent pieces and 400 one cent pieces. I'll try and get a picture of the condition of the coins up today. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnholio Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 Even in uncirculated condition, these are all quite common as many people saved them. The quarters are part silver, so they have some intrinsic value because of that. However, the mint changed the silver content from 80% to 50% while minting them, so it's hard to say how much silver is actually in each coin. A rough estimate would put each coin at 65% silver. So each contains roughly 3.78 grams of actual silver (total weight of the coin is 5.83g). 300 of them would be about 1,136g of silver = ~36 troy ounces. But because they are a fairly low % silver, people won't pay quite the same amount for these as they would for 36 troy ounces of .999 fine silver in coin or bar form. Hope this helped.

TBH Posted June 11, 2009 Report Share Posted June 11, 2009 Bullion buyers are currently paying about $1.75CDN for each 1967 quarter.You could roll the coins up and sell each roll online to try and get more than bullion or face value for them.Unfortunately only MS65 grades of your coins have any real collectible value.

Gopher Posted June 12, 2009 Report Share Posted June 12, 2009 There is also an extremely rare nickel version of the 67 25 cent coin. Check with a magnet....may be worth it! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 As suggested, the quarters basically trade as bullion. Currently, 1.50to 1.75 per quarter would be a likely buying range. As for the nickels, most dealers sell them at several for a dollar, so they generally would not be bought on their own. Maybe you could get $4 or $5 per roll?l. The 1967 1c unfortunately don't have much collectible value. Most dea, if not all dealers would likely give out circulated ones in change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnholio Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Yep, I occasionally sell lots of BU pennies and nickels (5-8 different dates, 1950s-1970) per lot) on Ebay. I'm not making millions, lol Some are up now if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coin King Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 In 2009, buyers are paying $1.25 to $1.50 for the 1967 quarters, about $0.10 for the nickels and then only in good shape (from mint rolls about $0.25), and $0.01 to $0.05 for the 1-cent coins depending on condition (from mint rolls about $0.10).
