There is a grading guide on this forum. For the coin in questions, check out this link:

http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-gra ... ge-V&id=12

You could also post photos here of both sides (hi res please) and I am sure others will jump in to offer a close opinion. Once you know this, the price can be checked out by a number of price guides. The one on this forum I find to be a bit optimistic but is a good starting point:

http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-pri ... -1922-1936

It shows values from $2.50 to $45.00 based on condition. Also check eBay and look at items that have auctions ending soonest. Most 1930's graded V - EF are around $1.00 - 1.50.

I hope this helps.

post photos please and perhaps I can find the value for you. I am not an expert but have learned a lot on the subject through experience.

Wikipedia and Google can usually give you a good clue. If you also search eBay, you will find curent market prices although I've noticed a lot of eBay people seem to grade their own coins very high. I'm also going to a coin show on the 22nd and hope to learn a lot.
