How much is 1858 Canada 20 cent coin worth?
The question says it all. I've looked around the Internet and found various answers. I am interested to see what you guys think would be the maximum I could get for it. The story behind the coin type is very interesting as well.

Canada made their 20 cent piece only one year 1858 while the U.S. went from 1875-1878 and made them at more than one mint. The stories behind the odd denominations such as 2 cents and 3 cents coins here in the states, as well as the Canadian tokens from colonial times all have neat stories. Your coin sells for around $45 in grade very good (no detail in braid above ear)to $170 in extremely fine (braid is slightly worn but generally sharp). Dealers pay at least 40% less.
