Overview

Historical significance

The Voyageur dollar was the standard design for Canadian silver dollars from 1935 to 1986. It commemorates the early fur trade era and the exploration of the Canadian wilderness. 1965 was a year of high production, but it represents the end of the era of circulating silver coinage in North America which transitioned to nickel and clad metals shortly after.

Estimated value

$15.00 - $25.00 USD (dependent on current silver spot price and physical condition)

Care & preservation

Handle only by the edges to avoid leaving skin oils on the surface. Store in a PVC-free plastic holder or an acid-free paper flip. Never clean or polish the coin, as this removes the original patina and significantly reduces its numismatic value.
