Also a good idea to look through your Canadian cents for a 1936 dot cent. These were minted in 1937 with 1936 dies and a dot was added to differentiate between them and actual 1937 cents. 2010 sale went for $402,500. Not a bad penny to dig up, huh! :happy:

Anyone wanting to either make an investment for the future or maybe search for some old silver coins in more decent shape than supposedly labeled in the bags or possible key dates and mint marks can check out websites to buy old worn silver coins for their silver content value in bulk bags. You can find sites like www.apmex.com (http://www.apmex.com) that are selling $100 $500 and $1000 face value bags of a range of different silver coins. Just a thought on the subject since it is some what similar to the other posts with values and such of coins. Personally I like to detect the coins and dig them though...
