In terms of currency exchange, 1 Canadian dollar is currently worth approximately $0.72 – $0.73 USD.
However, the value of a Canadian dollar coin, particularly older or commemorative editions, can be higher for collectors than its face value. For example:
- A circulated Canadian one dollar coin from 1990-2003 may be listed for approximately $10.40 USD by online sellers.
- A 1987 Canada One Dollar Coin featuring Queen Elizabeth II has been listed for $500 USD online.
- A 1957 Elizabeth II Silver Canadian Dollar has been listed for around $34.99 USD online.
- A 1990 Canadian Specimen 6-Coin Collector Set featuring a $1 Loonie is listed for C$64.95.
- A 2014 Canadian Specimen 6-Coin Collector Set featuring a $1 Ferruginous Hawk Loonie is listed for C$59.95.
These higher prices reflect the coin’s potential numismatic value, meaning its value as a collectible item, rather than its purely monetary value. Factors that contribute to a coin’s numismatic value include its rarity, condition, and historical significance. Therefore, while a one-dollar Canadian coin in everyday use is worth one Canadian dollar, certain editions can hold significantly greater value for collectors.
What is a $1 dollar coin worth?
I can help with that. US dollar coins represent one of the most diverse and misunderstood categories in American numismatics. While most modern dollar coins are worth only face value, certain series and dates can command significant premiums, with some historical silver dollars worth $40 or more in average condition.
How much silver is in a Canadian $1 coin?
From my experience, We guarantee that every time you buy a Canadian Silver Dollar, you are getting a Royal Canadian Mint product made at the 80% standard and containing no less than 0.6000 troy ounces of fine silver. Note that each coin will vary and that we cannot guarantee a specific year.
