Coin World is showing higher prices for modern Canadian.

It's nothing Earth shaking but they're showing a few dollars each
for most of the earlier, tougher circulation issues of nickel dimes and
quarters.

I'd guess this is probably real since there is lots of evidence that Can-
adians are collecting the circulating issues. I have no reason to be-
lieve any are especially scarce but most are not common in unc.

    The silver issues (especially from the late 1950's up to 1965) were hoarded in bag quantities. There was even hoarding of nickel and bronze coins by the bag. The bubble burst in 1965, so I doubt many people bought bags of 1968 and later coins after silver was deleted from circulation coins.

    Did Canada issue mint sets in the "post silver" years with regular business strike coins?

    No. The "mint sets" contained "proof like" coins and despite their relatively small mintages have a very small premium.

    TRULY nice George VI post-war coinage seems tough in MS65 AND HIGHER

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    Thanks. I guess that would make many of these coins tough than you might imagnine, especially for the quarters.

    With almost all modern coinages the answer is "almost no one". That's up substantially in the
    last several years and collectors are finding a dirth of supply in many cases.
