The Estate

Many collectors believe that Canadian silver coins are nothing more than the Canadian Silver Maple Leaf series. However, this is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the many Canadian silver coins that have come through the mint over the years. These other coins are diamonds in the rough for collectors; many of which are not familiar with these hidden gems of the Great White North.

The Canada Silver Dollar is sometimes referred to as the old-style Canada Silver Dollar coin because of the fact that its appearance is vastly different from the Maple Leaf style coins. The elegant portrait of Her Majesty and the 80% pure fine silver serve to increase its desirability. The Canada Silver $2 coin is somewhat similar in appearance, though it is important for numismatists to avoid becoming confused. The modern bi-metallic Canadian $2 piece is not the Canada Silver $2 coin.

Canada Silver 10 Cents pieces and the Canada Silver 5 cents run both have an exciting offer to be made for the possible consumer. The Canada Silver 5 cents series actually runs back into the Victorian era, and 1899-minted pieces should not be a difficult find. The Canada Silver 10 cents piece has actually seemed to become slightly more common in the last few years.

Canada Silver 25 Cents, Canada Silver 5 Cents, and Canada Silver 50 Cents pieces also each have exciting histories. This only adds to the fact that these coins were struck with high quality silver purity levels. The Canada Silver 25 Cents run dates to 1870. This is also true for the Canada Silver 50 Cents pieces. On the other hand, Canada Silver 5 Cents coins have a history stretching back to 1858, bearing the images of several Canadian monarchs.
