Old Canadian Quarters Could Be Worth A Lot

September 28, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

The goal of coin collecting is to find pieces that are rare. The less common a coin is, the more valuable it is. Mistakes in the minting of Canadian coins, including quarters, make them rarer. Quarters with errors can be worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars, even if they are relatively new. How can you tell if a coin has an error? In some cases, it is obvious because the shape or appearance of the coin is markedly different from the standard coins. If one side of the coin was blank or an image appeared twice, you would notice…

5 Rare Canadian Nickels

September 23, 2021 by Colonial Acres Coins

Last updated on September 15th, 2022 at 03:05 pmLast Updated on September 15, 2022 Posted by Colonial Acres Coins The nickel was introduced in Canada in 1858, but it wasn’t called a nickel until 1922, when the Royal Canadian Mint actually used nickel to make the coins. A few years later, 1937 saw the introduction of the familiar beaver design. The abdication of Edward VIII caused issues with some coins, but the nickel wasn’t affected. Nickels minted prior to 1936 were more durable than other coins, so there was no need to mint more until after George VI ascended the…
