1965 Canadian Dollar Varieties - Set of 4

[rbrown4]

Does having these 4 coins in a set like this increase the demand/value/appeal in general? Just wondering, thoughts and opionions welcome.

 

I had to split the pic in half so that it would download, these are in one set of 4.

 

Thanks

I have the four of five varieties in an album, not in a display. I am missing the Type 5 (pointed 5, medium beads). But the prices have not moved much. They are retailing individually for $8-10 on the average. The Type 5 has been around the $15-17 range for the last year, or so.

 

The demand for Canadian coins that are not bullion is not as high. I don't understand why, because Canadian dollars are undervalued and as nice as US coins.

 

Hmm... I might try to pick up a Type 5 dollar when I go to Charlotte in two weeks.

Me, too. I have the Type 5 in an ICG MS63 slab, but I didn't want to crack it out to put in my Dansco.

 

I was under the impression that they sell for more than $17 in BU.

The reason my demand for Canadian coins is low is because the British monarch is on them and I don't know anything about British monarchs. Lately I've looked at a number of coins from different countries and time periods with monarchs and realized that I find them much less interesting because I don't know anything about the people who got their position by who their parents were. I was raised in the US and taught that a meritocracy was a good thing so that doesn't help. One of founding priciples of the US is not to have a monarch. I'd need to read and learn about each of the monarchs before I get very interested in coins with specific effigies. Because the effigy is on so many coins, I also often feel that I'm only looking at half a coin when it comes to Britsh Commonwealth coins (which I've mentioned before). I wonder how many collectors are in a similar position?

If you read the book, Edward the Caresser , you may become interested in collecting Edward VII coins. Bertie was quite the playboy.
