What would be the value of 1976 Canadian olympic coin set?

Answer 1

There are thirty coins in the complete Olympic Series for 1976.

These consist of 28 silver coins (14 $5 coins, 14 $10 coins) and 2 gold bullion coins.

I personally have all the silver coins in a wooden display case, with each coin in its own plastic protective case.

Unfortunately, 20 million sets were minted and so the coins are valueless from a collector viewpoint, and worth only the melt value of the silver.

At current silver prices, I'd say the $10 coins are worth about $20 and the $5s about $10.

Check on e bay there are a few that go for 650.00 US and up, and if you join a collectors club you might fetch more depending on the condition. I am talking about proof set.

Answer 2

The $5.00 and $10.00 Olympics issued for the 1976 games contain 145.128 troy ounces of silver in each $1000 face value of the coins. You don't mention if the coins you have are of the $5.00 or $10.00 denomination, but in either case divide 145.128 by 1000 and multiply by the face value of your coins and you will have the silver content. The $20.00 coins issued for the 1988 Olympics are a different story because they doubled the face value but they did not double the silver content. The $20 coins contain only 49.962 troy ounces in $1000 of face value. At GoldSmart we currently pay $2.48 for every $1.00 face value for the $5 and $10 Olympics

Answer 3

The $10 coins are 92.5% Silver and have a fine silver content of 1.44 Troy oz.

The $5 coins are also 92.5% and have a content of .72 Troy oz

Answer 4

U.S. or British? The only U.S. coins with the single date of 1976 are dimes, nickels and cents. Post new question
