Whether you are from Canada, or just interested in collecting Canadian coins, there are plenty of options out there and many of these coins are actually quite valuable. Before you get started with your collection, it’s a good idea to know what is out there and which coins will be the best investment. Here’s a quick guide to Canadian coins to get you started.
1. Gold and Platinum Coins
By far, the most valuable Canadian coins are the ones that are made from platinum or gold. You’ll find many commemorative coins made of these materials and some are worth more than the actual face value of the coin. If you’re looking for a solid investment with a history of growth, these coins are a great option. While not all are incredibly valuable, the majority will be worth at the very least their face value.
2. Loonies and Twoonies
Loonies are a very popular Canadian coin, so called due to the design on the coin. This is a dollar coin and it can be a bit harder to find the older ones. If you happen across a Loonie, it’s a great idea to keep it since it may be worth quite a lot of money. Twoonies are also popular and this is a two dollar coin that is a real collector’s item. Not many people actually use these, so it is possible to get your hands on one that has not been circulated.
3. Province Coins
Just like the US and the state quarters, there are province specific Canadian coins that are very valuable. It’s a lot of fun to see if you can get all the provinces and this is also a fun hobby for kids that combines geography with stamp collecting. The commemorative ones are going to be the most valuable in these coins, but there is still a lot of demand for these on the market.
4. Collections, Lots
If you want a jump start towards building your collection of Canadian coins, one of the best ways to do that is to get an entire collection in one fell swoop. You can usually find these at auction and in many cases, there will be at least one or two very rare stamps in the collection. Even if you already have a large personal collection, this is usually a very economical way to add to and even discover some new stamps along the way.
5. Proof Sets
These are probably the rarest and hardest to find in Canadian coins, but if you do come across a proof, you can almost guarantee that it will be worth quite a bit of money. These are the proofs that are used when they are minting coins, and there are many antique ones that are very popular right now.
No matter what kind of Canadian coins you are interested in collecting, you can find them at auction, online and even from private dealers. Give collecting these coins a try and see what rare finds you can come across.
