How Our Offers Work
Fair, transparent offers based on real Canadian market values — no guesswork, no pressure, no obligation.
When you submit photos through this website, you will receive a written purchase estimate — what we would pay for each coin — based on current Canadian market conditions. Most purchase estimates fall between 65% and 85% of current market value, depending on the coin, its condition, and collector demand. There are no hidden fees, no lowball tactics, and no pressure to accept.
How We Determine Value
Purchase estimates are based on recent actual sales of Canadian coins — from online marketplaces, auction results, and collector platforms. This gives a realistic picture of what we can offer right now.
When calculating an offer, the following are factored in:
- Selling fees on platforms like eBay (typically 13–15%)
- Shipping, insurance, and handling costs
- The time and effort required to properly list, photograph, and market each coin
The goal is to make selling your coins easy and worthwhile — without the hassle of doing it yourself.
A Real-World Example
A Newfoundland 50-cent coin that sells for around $300 in the current market would typically receive an offer in the range of $200–$250.
The exact figure depends on the coin's condition, whether it has been professionally graded, and how strong current collector demand is.
What Affects Your Offer
Condition and eye appeal
Coins in better condition are worth more to collectors
Professional grading
ICCS, PCGS, or NGC-graded coins command stronger prices
Rarity and collector demand
Key dates and low-mintage coins attract higher offers
Single coin or full collection
Collections are evaluated as a whole for the best overall offer
No Pressure, No Obligation
Every purchase estimate is completely no-obligation. You are free to accept, decline, or simply keep the estimate — there is no pressure at any stage.
Why Sellers Choose Us
Better than a pawn shop
Pawn shops and quick cash buyers typically offer a fraction of a coin's real value. We pay based on actual collector market prices.
Easier than selling yourself
Listing coins on eBay takes time, knowledge, and effort. We handle everything — you just send the coins and receive payment.
