Dollar vs Half Dollar?
(Edited)
The Canadian silver dollar and half dollar are probably the two most well known coins for collectors, especially “junk silver” collectors. The dollar is 80% silver and 20% copper, as is the half dollar. 3/5 of an ounce of silver, and 3/10 of an ounce respectively. I do like both coins. Question I have for you is, if you had to choose between one or the other, which would you find more desirable? Also would you pay more for a dollar than two half dollars, or not? One dollar has the same amount of silver as two half dollars right. I have found that some dealers add a bit of a premium for the dollars and some do not. Do share in the comments your opinions.

I'd say take two, makes you feel more the better and if you get a better price it makes more sense but if your a serious collector your probably buying all three no matter the price, well I mean that in paying a premium sometimes.
2 vs 1, same amount of silver in either one. Maybe having two is more versatile if you are bartering.
Agreed
Would pay the same but the half is slightly more flexibility !BBH

Yes, very true.
Can I have both? We used peso coin here. No silver touch. 😁 @daveks
No dealio.
Hahaha. 2 half dollars make a little child smile compare to 1 dollar. 😁 @daveks
Either way they are both silver. Whichever you prefer. I love the canoe dollar though.
I agree, have a preference for the dollar.
That's pure mastery with the delicate design of the coin. I'll take two if it were me.
Yes, the canoe dollar is my favourite. Thanks for looking.
Excellent work on close-up photos!... Numismatics is a passionate hobby, my maternal grandfather loved collecting coins, I still have many inherited from him, but they are in boxes at my mother's house, I hope one of these days to organize them! .. Of these two that you present to us, I liked the one dollar one better with that fantastic engraving of the canoe on the obverse...

While I have some numismatic Canadian coins I keep for the sake of collecting I have other silver coins I treat as fractional silver coinage for emergency commerce. I have a 1935 Uncirculated King George silver dollar left to me by my father I will keep and pass on to my children, At the same time I have a handful of 1939 Parliament silver dollars I can choose to spend or trade. The silver dollars may be slightly more accepted as emergency currency over the half dollar since the half dollar has hardly circulated for decades, even the nickel half rarely circulates. For a test I've tried to spend a 1984 half dollar to more times than not refused payment. The point I'm making is ...recognizability.
As I read, I would opt for 1, the metal is the same, I suppose the premium would not change either.
I wish you a happy start to the week
That makes sense. Thanks.
very nice i love the design from coin canada!

Cool aren’t they!
I go with the color on these all the way! You just get the reflective surfaces a little more clearly. Nice silver, I don't have much Canadian silver. I keep meaning to pick some up but as of late I'm been buying in local shops and going with the best deal!
Understandable. Our own national coins always seem to be the best ones to stack.
