Question
I have a 1916 canadian 3 cent coin. I wondering the value if any this coin has. Can you tell me?
Hi Crystal:
)
I suggest you go back and look at your coin. There is no Canadian 3 cent coin. The value of your coin depends on the condition. Your coin is likely a five cent piece. The Canada five cent coin has a "Worldwide Coins" trend value of between $3 in VG to $115 in UNC condition to an interested collector.
Remember, if you decide to sell your coin to a dealer, they will pay approximately 50% to 60% of retail trends. Always try to get more than one opinion of your coin's grade and value from recognized coin dealers that are both members of the ANA (American Numismatic Association) and PNG (Professional Numismatic Guild). To find a local PNG dealer go to this link: http://www.pngdealers.com/
