1981 Canadian Nickel Dollar, mintage 2,778,900. I find something strange here, mintage is higher then last two coins, yet starting at MS-63 this coin has a trend value at $30.00, $20.00 higher then last 12 coins. At MS-64 gose to $50.00 and then $100.00 at MS-65 in line with last coins. Coin shown here is MS condition, maybe AU-58 too MS-60 because of a number of bag marks, but no major scratches.

1978 Canadian Nickel Dollar, mintage 2,948,488. Continued major changes occurred in the nickel dollar coinage in 1978. In a reversal of the design policy, the Mint returned to designs more like those used prior to 1977. Trend values for this coin is basically the same starting at MS-63 at $10.00 up to $200.00 for MS-65. The coin shown here was not issued for circulation and the marks you see are actually from the scanner and not the coin itself. So startng grade would start at MS-65 NC, trend $10.00. You could probably buy this coin for about $2.50 to $3.00 from a dealer or bid on it on E-BAY starting at .99 cents.

1977 Canadian Nickel Dollar, mintage 1,393,745. A major alteration was made on the reverse of the 1977 dollar. A new model was prepared on which the size of the device was reduced and the legend was in small lettering, much farther from the rim. The rim decticles were replaced with beads. Trend values start at MS-63 in most catalogues and at MS-63 the trend is $10.00 and moves up to $150.00 in MS-65 condition. The coin shown here is close to MS condition lets say MS-60..
