When founder of Muzeum Maxim Smirnov worked with others to produce the Great Canadian Roadshow (GCR), he did so because of how much he loved to find and collect rare and unique pieces. The aim of the GCR is to share that love of antique pieces, coinage, jewellery, gold and silver, and all kinds of memorabilia with all of Canada.
We continue this tradition today at Muzeum, where we pride ourselves in being transparent in everything we do. That’s why you can feel confident when you bring your coins to our store where we perform expert evaluations right before your eyes.

If you come in for a visit, we can go over them with you and more detail and assist you in identifying your old coinage. There are generally four different kinds of coins that are considered rare and valuable – let’s take a look.
Most coinage can be valued based solely on their precious metal content (whether they are made of gold or silver). Numismatic coins, on the other hand, are valued above their precious metal content or face value.
This could be due to them being a limited mintage (meaning few of them were created), because of an error during the minting process, or because they are of a specific variation or otherwise. There is always a demand for these specimens because of their uniqueness and rarity.
Commemorate means that they were created for a particular event or issue. These ones are generally minted in very large quantities, so one would think that they might not be worth very much. Even though they are not considered to be numismatic, there are still many versions with precious metal content within them, such as silver, making them valuable.
Originally, proof coinage was created as samples to check dies and archival purposes. Nowadays, proof refers to any coin that was minted with the specific intention of being sold to coin collectors and numismatists. Nearly every country has issued proof coinage.
There are three classifications that fall under this category:
At Muzeum, our numismatists and experts who are directly on location have over 40 years of industry experience. They will easily be able to help you determine what kind of coinage you have.
We buy all coins including numismatic, commemorative, proof, and uncirculated. When you visit our store you can also bring in circulated, mint sets and proof coins like the Franklin sets and the Royal Canadian Mint set, and collections of any kind.
You can also sell your gold and silver coins, including:
GOLD COINS
We also buy all Gold Bullion Gold Coins, Gold Rounds, Gold Bars, and ingots from Government and Private Mints.
SILVER COINS
We also buy all Silver Bullion, Silver Coins, Silver Rounds, Silver Bars, and Ingots from Government and Private Mints.
Unfortunately, there are numerous amounts of counterfeit coinage out there. Typically, though, you can tell coinage authenticity by its weight (precious metals are heavy), design, and minting.
There are online catalogues of coins that you can compare yours to in order to match up design and minting date. In regards to precious metals, a strong magnet should be able to tell you whether or not the coins you have are made of silver or gold which will not attract to the magnet.
At the end of the day, though, the best way to determine whether or not you are dealing with a counterfeit is to take it to our store. We have machinery that can determine with absolute certainty whether or not your item has any precious metal content, and our experts are always on hand to offer their valuable advice.
So if you have any old coinage that you’d like to sell, be sure to stop by. We also currently have a promotion where free you can get a free $1 Canadian bill for just walking through our door. So don’t miss out!
