The last dodo bird Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I have been given this coin by my grandfather and have only found the value of the bronze one, but this one is silver and i wanted to know its value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 $20-25 is fair retail value in mint condition. (At least that's what I sell them for) Note that for the bronze one there are two sizes, and the smaller one (1") is very common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCoinCzar Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 I don't know of the value of your coin, but wanted to let you know that this is the first time I have ever seen this coin and I really like it. Good luck with getting a value on it. I would think that the silver one would be worth at least its weight in silver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coinsoldier Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Can you give more info on this coin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 They're RCM medallions commemorating the 1939 Royal Visit. The small bronze ones were given away to kids, while the larger sized bronze and silver ones were sold at POs for 10 and 50 cents, respectively. There were also gold pieces given to selected dignataries, e.g. WLMK and FDR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The last dodo bird Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 The reason i want to know its value is not because i wish to sell it but because it gives me an idea of its rarity. The coin has a diameter of about 1 1/4 inch (more precisely 3,3 cm). One side depicts the Canadian Pacific Railway and the other King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. There is information about this coin on the internet, but not this one specifically. All i have been able to find was information about the more common bronze one, which was given to schoolchildren.

ccg Posted April 19, 2011 Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 In terms of scarcity, it's kind of "meh". Most dealers likely enconter several a year. Not super common, but not really scarce, either. Mintage is likely in the tens of thousands, possibly low six figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
