Collecting Rare Canadian Coins

Anyone that is interested in acquiring rare collectible coins that possess the potential for increased value should look towards Canada. Over the years, the nation has produced many rare Canadian coins with collectible value. Some may be surprised at the notion that Canada has produced coins that are popular in collector's circles since the US, Spain, and France is commonly cited nations known for their rare coinage. However, it is also true that Canada has produced many coins with high collectible value as well.

Now, what is it that makes these coins so rare and valuable? There are many reasons and they center on the actual original production of the coins. Due to a variety of factors, some rare coins have become exceeding rare. So, let's take a closer look at some categories of rare Canadian coins:

During the early days of minting Canadian coins, many were produced from pure gold and silver. Since gold and silver are precious metals, they are both rare and in demand. This means those gold and silver coins may have potentially more value melted down. This is even doubly true when the coins are taken out of circulation and are not used for common transactions. While melting down the coins may have delivered an immediate benefit to those in need of pure gold or silver, it reduced the volume of coins in existence. This leads to the coins becoming quite rare and valuable. Today, the few pure gold and silver coins that exist commandeer high interest from collectors.

As is the case today, many older rare Canadian coins may have been released as limited edition coins. Since only a few of these coins were produced and their availability was limited, the collectible value of these coins has increased over the years. In some instances, the most desired and rarest of Canadian coins are those that were originally released as limited edition items. This means they will perpetually increase in value and make a great investment item to purchase.

Human beings are prone to making errors. This is simply the nature of being a human being. When it comes to minting coins, the coins are not protected from this aspect of human behavior. In other words, there are ways in which coins can me made improperly. While this certainly was not appreciated by the Canadian government, collectors of rare coins rejoice as they have very valuable coins available on the market as a result. Whoever said mistakes do not come with their benefits?

Commemorative coins are also known for their high value in collector's circles. Over the years, many unique and interesting coins have been minted that promote the history and culture of Canada. So brilliant was the design of a number of these coins that their collectible value is quite significant. And, of course, these collectible coins can be quite stunning to look at as well.

Some of these rare Canadian coins include the 1911 Canadian silver dollar, 1921 Canadian 50 cent coin, and the 1921 Canadian 5 cent coin.

Yes, Canada can be considered a true treasure trove for rare and special coins. That is why collectors are advised not to overlook the many wonderful coins produced by Canada. They are simply too unique and valuable to be ignored!

What Is a Canadian? $13.99 Each of these essays begins with the words “A Canadian is . . .”. Each one is very different, producing a fascinating book for all thinking Canadians. Irvin Studin is an idealistic young Canadian who wanted to do something extraordinary for his country. So he decided to approach leading Canadians — he calls them “sages” — to tell us what they believe defines us. The people who responded eagerly, to produce an essay of 1,500 to 2,000 words, are, in his words, “all distinguished Canadian thinkers and achievers from all walks of life — politics, the civil service, academia, literature, journalism, business, the arts — from both official language groups, and from all regions of the country, as well as from the Canadian diaspora.” The strength of this book lies in the contributors, listed in the sidebar. The variety ranges from the funny — “A Canadian is . . . someone who crosses the road to get to the middle” (Allan Fotheringham) through the hostile — “. . . the citizen of a country badly in need of growing up” (William Watson) through the surprising — “. . . adaptable. To illustrate, consider the depth and breadth of the Canadian woman’s wardrobe” (Jennifer Welsh) or celebratory — “. . . a wonderful thing to be” (Bob Rae). A Canadian is . . . certain to find this book fascinating.

Canadian 1 Dollar Coin $92.4 The Canadian 1 dollar coin is a goldcoloured, bronzeplated, onedollar coin introduced in 1987. It bears images of a common loon, a wellknown Canadian bird, on the reverse, and of Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. The design for the coin was meant to be a voyageur theme, similar to the countrys previous one dollar/silver dollar coin, but the master dies were lost by the courier service while in transit to the Royal Canadian Mint in Winnipeg. In order to avoid possible counterfeiting, a different design was used. The coin has become the symbol of its currency. Newspapers often discuss the rate at which the loonie is trading against the United States greenback. The nickname loonie became so widely recognized that on March 15, 2006 the Royal Canadian Mint secured the rights to the name Loonie.
