Newfoundland Coins — A Specialty
Newfoundland issued its own coins from 1865 until it joined Confederation in 1949. These pre-Confederation coins — including the 50-cent piece, the unique 20-cent piece, the 10-cent, 5-cent, and 1-cent pieces — are collected across Canada and can be worth significantly more than their face value or even their silver content.
Many people in St. John's and across Newfoundland and Labrador discover these coins in inherited collections, old coin albums, or jars of mixed coins. If you have Newfoundland coins and are not sure what they are worth, the safest first step is to upload photos for a free preliminary estimate before making any decisions.
The 50-cent piece and the 20-cent piece are particularly sought after by collectors. Key dates in the 50-cent series — including the 1888 and 1894 — can be worth hundreds of dollars in any grade. The 20-cent piece is unique to Newfoundland and carries a special appeal for collectors of provincial coinage.
