2019 Canadian 1-Dollar (Loonie) Value Guide
Complete 2019 Canadian loonie value guide in CAD. Prices by grade and finish for the Standard Loon, Equality commemorative, Pileated Woodpecker specimen, and D-Day 75th Anniversary silver proof. Find out what your coin is worth.
Most 2019 Canadian loonies are worth exactly $1.00 (face value). Only coins certified at MS-65 or higher cross that threshold — reaching $20.30 (Standard Loon) or $21.90 (Equality) in Gem Uncirculated condition. Top registry coins at MS-67/MS-68 command ~$65–$119 CAD.
- Circulated (found in change — Standard Loon or Equality):$1.00 face value
- BU, uncertified (MS60–MS63):$1.00–$2.90 — minimal premium above face
- Certified Gem (MS-65):$20.30 (Standard Loon) / $21.90 (Equality)
- Top Registry (MS-67 Standard Loon):~$65.60
- Top Registry (MS-67–MS-68 Equality):~$82–$119
- Intact Equality Special Wrap Roll (25 coins, sealed):~$55.00
- Pileated Woodpecker Specimen (SP65–SP66, sets only):$9.80–$14.70
- D-Day 75th Anniversary Silver Proof (PF67):~$100.00
Found it in change? Both the Standard Loon and the Equality commemorative circulate as legal tender at face value — neither carries a premium below MS-65. Is it shiny or from a set? Proof-Like (PL) examples from the RCM Uncirculated Set and the Specimen Pileated Woodpecker (from the 6-Coin Set) are valued separately from business strikes; a shiny loose 2019 loonie is almost certainly a PL coin, not a rare high-grade business strike. Is it silver? No — all 2019 $1 circulation coins are Multi-Ply Brass Plated Steel (MPBPS) with negligible metal value. The only silver $1 is the NCLT D-Day proof (23.17 g, non-magnetic). Note: a colourized $1 Equality coin was never officially issued — the colourized version carries a $10 face value as a separate ½ oz pure silver NCLT product. All values in CAD as of February 2026.

The 2019 Canadian 1-dollar coin (“loonie”) is one of the most layered annual issues in the denomination’s post-1987 history. Alongside the standard Common Loon struck for mass circulation, the Royal Canadian Mint released the landmark Equality commemorative — marking 50 years since the 1969 Act of Parliament that began the decriminalization of homosexual acts in Canada — and the collector-exclusive Pileated Woodpecker, found only within the 2019 6-Coin Specimen Set. The year also includes the Non-Circulating Legal Tender 75th Anniversary of D-Day pure silver proof dollar. For pricing across all loonie years and designs, see our Canadian Loonie Value Guide.
Note: Errors such as off-center strikes and wrong-planchet coins can exist within the broader scope of Canadian coinage but are outside the scope of this standard value guide.
2019 Canadian Loonie Composition & Melt Value
Since 2012, the Royal Canadian Mint has manufactured the circulation loonie using its proprietary Multi-Ply Brass Plated Steel (MPBPS) technology, and the 2019 Standard Loon and Equality coins are products of this system. Construction begins with a solid, low-carbon steel core produced at the RCM’s Winnipeg high-speed manufacturing facility. The core is sequentially electroplated with microscopic layers of nickel (for adhesion and corrosion resistance), copper, and a final outer layer of brass alloy (copper and zinc). This multi-ply architecture simultaneously delivers the warm golden-bronze aesthetic associated with the denomination, exceptional mechanical durability in high-volume circulation, and — most critically for central banking — a precisely programmable electromagnetic signature that commercial vending machines, transit systems, and financial sorting equipment can read to prevent counterfeiting.
Magnet Test
Because the coin is built around a solid steel core, every genuine 2019 base-metal loonie exhibits strong ferromagnetic properties and will immediately and forcefully adhere to a standard magnet. A coin purporting to be a $1 loonie that does not attract to a magnet is either a specific NCLT pure silver issue (which is significantly heavier at 23.17 g) or a suspect piece warranting further investigation. Confirmation by weight — 6.27 grams precisely — is the definitive follow-up test.
A genuine 2019 Canadian loonie (Multi-Ply Brass Plated Steel core) snaps firmly to a standard magnet. The 99.99% pure silver D-Day NCLT proof dollar is non-magnetic and weighs 23.17 g — significantly heavier than the 6.27 g base-metal coin. (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
Intrinsic Melt Value — Circulation Issues
Steel, copper, nickel, and zinc are valued by the metric ton on commodity markets. The aggregated metallurgical content of a single 6.27-gram MPBPS planchet amounts to a mere fraction of one Canadian cent. The 2019 Standard Loon and Equality circulation dollars carry no meaningful melt value and function strictly as fiat currency and collectible artifacts, with zero utility as bullion investment vehicles.
NCLT Pure Silver Issues
The 2019 75th Anniversary of D-Day proof dollar presents a sharp contrast: struck at the RCM’s Ottawa facility from 99.99% pure silver, it weighs 23.17 grams (approximately 0.745 troy ounces). The separately issued $10 face-value colourized Equality coin is likewise struck from 99.99% pure silver at 15.87 grams (approximately 0.5 troy ounces). For these NCLT variants, the daily global silver spot price establishes a hard, fluctuating price floor — a fundamental contrast to the base-metal circulation issues where melt value is entirely irrelevant.
2019 Canadian Loonie Value Chart by Grade & Finish
Grade comparison for a 2019 Canadian loonie business strike. The value cliff between MS63 and MS65 is dramatic: only coins free of distracting contact marks in prime focal areas — the Queen’s cheek and the loon’s body — qualify as Gem Uncirculated. (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
2019 Canadian Loonie — Business Strikes (Circulation)
The Royal Canadian Mint struck 23,670,000 Standard Loon dollars and 3,000,000 Equality commemoratives for mass commerce — over 26 million heavy steel-planchet coins in total. Because supply is abundant, value is driven entirely by the statistical improbability of surviving the hopper-filling and bagging process without contact marks. A BU coin at MS60–MS63 commands almost no premium above face value; crossing the MS-65 threshold requires a mathematically stringent standard of preservation.
| Design | Circulated | BU (MS60–MS63) | MS65 | MS67 | Mintage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard “Common Loon” | $1.00 (face value) | $1.00–$2.80 | $20.30 | ~$65.60 | 23,670,000 |
| “Equality” Commemorative | $1.00 (face value) | $1.00–$2.90 | $21.90 | ~$82–$119 | 3,000,000 |

2019 Canadian Loonie — Proof-Like / Brilliant Uncirculated Collector Issues
Two collector products offer superior-preservation loonies: the 2019 RCM Uncirculated Set (Standard Loon, PL finish, 75,000 sets) and the Equality Special Wrap Roll (Brilliant Uncirculated, 15,000 rolls of 25 coins). PL examples feature mirror-like fields and delicately frosted devices from careful handling during set assembly. Intact, sealed rolls command a meaningful premium above individual coin value because original packaging guarantees undisturbed surfaces.
| Product | BU (per coin) | MS65 (per coin) | Intact Roll / Packaging Premium | Mintage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard Loon — RCM Uncirculated Set (PL) | $3.00–$5.00 | $10.00–$15.00 | N/A (whole-set value) | 75,000 sets |
| Equality — Special Wrap Roll (BU) | $3.00 (raw, single coin) | $21.90 | ~$55.00 (sealed 25-coin roll) | 15,000 rolls |
ℹ️ PL Set Contamination
With 75,000 Uncirculated Sets produced for 2019, many have been broken open and their coins dispersed into the raw market. A “shiny” 2019 loonie found loose in a collection is very likely a PL example from one of these dismantled sets — not a rare high-grade business strike. Dealers frequently discount raw “Uncirculated” modern loonies on this assumption.
⚠️ PVC Damage Risk
Proof-Like coins stored long-term in original cellophane packaging may develop surface contamination over decades. If you see any green residue or haze, professional conservation with pure acetone (not nail polish remover) is required. Damaged coins lose all numismatic premium regardless of underlying detail.
2019 Canadian Loonie — Pileated Woodpecker Specimen (Sets Only)
The Pileated Woodpecker dollar was never released for general circulation. It exists exclusively within the 2019 6-Coin Specimen Set, of which 30,000 were produced. Acquiring even a raw example requires dismantling an intact set. The RCM’s Specimen (SP) finish — characterized by precisely machined parallel matte lines in the background fields with frosted relief elements — is unique to this product and instantly distinguishable from both business strikes and PL coins.
| Finish | SP65–SP66 | SP70 | Mintage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Specimen (SP) — Pileated Woodpecker | $9.80–$14.70 | — | 30,000 sets | Sets only; never circulated. SP70 sales data insufficient to establish a ceiling. |
The 2019 75th Anniversary of D-Day silver proof dollar, designed by Tony Bianco. This NCLT coin is struck from 99.99% pure silver (23.17 g / ≈0.745 troy oz) with deeply mirrored fields and ultra-heavy cameo frosted devices. It was sold exclusively in a leather clamshell presentation case — it is not a pocket-change coin. (Illustration — not a photo of your exact coin)
2019 Canadian Loonie — D-Day 75th Anniversary Silver Proof (NCLT)
The 2019 D-Day 75th Anniversary silver dollar, designed by Tony Bianco, depicts a North Shore (New Brunswick) Regiment soldier landing on Juno Beach, with the letter “V” rendered in Morse code in the upper fields. It is a Non-Circulating Legal Tender coin struck at the RCM’s Ottawa facility from 99.99% pure silver (23.17 g / approximately 0.745 troy ounces). Value derives from precious metal content, the 20,000-piece mintage, and flawless proof-quality preservation. Removing the coin from its original capsule, case, or separating it from its Certificate of Authenticity significantly reduces its numismatic premium.
| Finish / Metal | PF67 | PF70 Ultra Cameo | Mintage | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proof (PF) — 99.99% Pure Silver | ~$100 | ~$200+ | 20,000 | NCLT only; ≈0.745 troy oz silver. Handle in original capsule only. |

Most Valuable 2019 Canadian Loonie Varieties
The highly automated, laser-engraved die technology of modern coinage production drastically reduces the occurrence of traditional mechanical varieties such as doubled dies or major misalignments. No specific major die varieties (DDO, DDR, or similar) are documented for the 2019 loonie. Exceptional value in this year’s series is driven almost entirely by condition rarity (top-population registry coins), design and finish exclusivity, and intact original packaging.
The 2019 Equality commemorative reverse, designed by Joe Average. Two intertwined, stylized human faces represent gender fluidity and personal identity, accompanied by the bilingual text “EQUALITY / ÉGALITÉ” and dual dates 1969–2019. The mintage of 3,000,000 represents roughly 12% of Standard Loon production for the year.
Trophy-Level Results (Not Typical)
The values below represent verified or well-documented high-end results for 2019 loonies. They are statistical outliers driven by registry set competition and do not represent the typical value of coins encountered in change or standard collections.
| What | Why It Commands a Premium | Grade / Requirement | Documented Range (CAD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| “Equality” Commemorative (Top Registry) | Extreme condition rarity on a smooth-faced design struck on a heavy steel planchet; intense MS-67 / MS-68 registry competition drives the premium beyond design value | MS-67 / MS-68 (PCGS / NGC; “First Releases” label adds niche appeal) | ~$82–$119 |
| Standard “Common Loon” (Top Registry) | Pure condition rarity; finding a perfectly struck business strike with zero bag marks on the Queen’s cheek or loon’s body is a statistical anomaly in a 23+ million piece mintage | MS-67 (ICCS / PCGS / NGC) | ~$65.60 |
| D-Day 75th Anniversary Silver Dollar (Perfect Proof) | Maximum perfection for a 20,000-mintage pure silver proof: flawless deep cameo field-to-device contrast, zero milk spots, zero handling marks | PF-70 Ultra Cameo (NGC) | ~$200+ |
| Pileated Woodpecker (Perfect Specimen) | Flawless preservation of the RCM’s world-exclusive Specimen finish; parallel matte lines must be perfectly uninterrupted by any handling friction | SP-70 (NGC / PCGS) | — (insufficient verifiable sales data to establish ceiling) |

The 2019 Pileated Woodpecker Specimen dollar, designed by Jean-Charles Daumas, found exclusively in the 2019 6-Coin Specimen Set. Note the characteristic parallel matte lines in the background fields — the definitive visual signature of the RCM’s Specimen (SP) finish, clearly distinguishing it from both business strikes and Proof-Like coins.
Findable Split Points (Roll-Hunting & Collection Review)
For collectors searching bank rolls or reviewing accumulated loonies, these are the practical split points worth checking. No die varieties need to be hunted — value comes from identifying the lower-mintage commemorative design and locating intact original packaging.
| What to Look For | How to Identify It | Why It’s Rarer | Typical Premium Impact |
|---|---|---|---|
| “Equality” Reverse Design | Two intertwined stylized faces; bilingual “EQUALITY / ÉGALITÉ”; dual dates 1969–2019 on reverse | Mintage of 3,000,000 represents approximately 12% of Standard Loon production for the year | Minimal in circulated grades; $3–$5 raw strict BU |
| Specimen “Pileated Woodpecker” | Woodpecker scaling an oak trunk; background fields show distinct parallel matte lines (not mirror or cartwheel lustre) | Only 30,000 produced globally; impossible to find in standard circulation unless a set was dismantled | $10–$15 baseline; significantly higher at SP-66+ |
| Equality Special Wrap Roll (intact, sealed) | 25 Equality coins in original sealed RCM commemorative paper roll packaging | Only 15,000 rolls produced; sealed condition guarantees surfaces are undamaged by hopper handling | ~$55 per sealed roll vs. $3 per loose individual coin |
2019 Canadian Loonie Identification Guide
Use this 30-second checklist to classify any 2019 Canadian 1-dollar coin precisely. Correct identification — especially distinguishing the three reverse designs and four distinct finish types — is the essential prerequisite before consulting any value table.
The 2019 Canadian loonie: obverse (left) featuring the Susanna Blunt “bare head” Fourth Portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, and reverse (right) featuring the Robert-Ralph Carmichael Standard Common Loon design with the micro-engraved maple leaf security feature visible above the loon. Key identification features labelled.
- Monarch Check (Obverse): Confirm the obverse features the mature, bare-headed portrait of Queen Elizabeth II facing right, wearing a simple pearl necklace and stud earrings. This is the Fourth Portrait, designed by Canadian artist Susanna Blunt and used on all Canadian denominations from 2003 to 2022. Any other portrait indicates this is not a standard 2019 issue.
- Reverse Design Classification: Flip the coin and match to one of three 2019 designs:
- Standard Common Loon: A solitary loon swimming past a small forested island — designed by Robert-Ralph Carmichael for the denomination’s 1987 debut.
- Equality Commemorative: Two intertwined, stylized human faces over the bilingual text “EQUALITY / ÉGALITÉ” and dual dates “1969” and “2019” — designed by Joe Average.
- Collector-Exclusive Pileated Woodpecker: A woodpecker scaling an oak trunk — designed by Jean-Charles Daumas. This coin never circulated and exists only in the 2019 6-Coin Specimen Set.
- Edge Geometry: Run your thumb along the rim. It must be perfectly plain and smooth, conforming to a distinct 11-sided (hendecagonal) outline. No reeding or serrations are present.
- Security Feature Check (Circulation Issues Only): On the Standard Loon and Equality coins, inspect the reverse fields directly above the central design. A micro-engraved maple leaf within a tiny circle must be clearly visible. This laser-etched anti-counterfeiting mark was introduced to the series in 2012. Its absence on a purported circulation coin is a significant authenticity red flag.
10x magnification of the micro-engraved maple leaf security feature on the 2019 Canadian loonie reverse. This tiny laser-etched maple leaf within a circle appears directly above the loon (or above the central design on the Equality coin) on all genuine 2019 circulation issues. Its absence is a warning sign.
- Magnet Test (Composition Verification): Apply a standard magnet. All genuine 2019 base-metal loonies are strongly magnetic due to the solid steel core. A coin that does not attract to the magnet is either a specific NCLT pure silver issue (significantly heavier at 23.17 g) or suspect. Both results require confirmation by weight.
- Weight Verification: A genuine 2019 base-metal loonie weighs exactly 6.27 grams. The D-Day silver proof dollar weighs 23.17 grams. Significant deviation from these figures warrants further examination.
- Mint Marks: No mint marks are documented on any 2019 $1 circulation or collector-set issues. No “W” or other facility designation appears — this is standard practice for modern Canadian commerce coinage of this era.
- Finish Identification (Critical Value Driver):
- Business Strike: Highly reflective “cartwheel” lustre. Nearly always shows bag marks, rim dings, or localized striking weakness from mass production and hopper handling. Standard Loon and Equality circulation coins.
- Proof-Like (PL) / Brilliant Uncirculated: Mirror-like background fields with delicately frosted devices from careful set assembly. No heavy contact marks. Found sealed in flat cellophane packs within the RCM Uncirculated Set.
- Specimen (SP): Precisely machined, parallel matte lines in the background fields — not a mirror polish. Relief elements carry a combination of brilliant and frosted textures creating deep visual contrast. Exclusive to the Pileated Woodpecker design in 2019.
- Proof (PF): Deeply mirrored fields with a “black glass” appearance when angled, paired with ultra-heavy cameo frosted devices. Exclusive to NCLT precious metal issues (the D-Day silver dollar). Originally packaged in leather or velvet clamshell cases.
Side-by-side finish comparison for 2019 Canadian loonies: Business Strike (left, cartwheel lustre with visible bag marks), Proof-Like / BU (centre-left, mirror fields and frosted devices from set handling), Specimen (centre-right, characteristic parallel matte lines in fields), and Proof (right, deep mirror “black glass” fields with heavy cameo frost — silver NCLT only). Finish is the primary driver of value. (Illustration — not photos of your exact coins)
⚠️ The Colourized $1 Equality Coin Does Not Exist
No colourized $1 Equality loonie was ever officially issued by the Royal Canadian Mint. The colourized Equality coin bears a $10 face value and is struck from ½ oz. of 99.99% pure silver — a completely separate NCLT collector product. Any $1 Equality coin bearing applied enamel or paint is an aftermarket alteration by a third party and carries no official numismatic premium as a colourized issue.
⚠️ Never Clean Your Coins
The MPBPS plating on 2019 loonies is microscopically thin. Any polishing, abrasive cleaning, or acidic dipping will immediately strip the outer brass layer, exposing the copper or nickel plating beneath and permanently destroying the coin’s numismatic value. Any grading service will designate a cleaned coin as “Altered — Details.” Deep scratches that breach the plating also invite rapid rust formation from the steel core, causing irreversible damage.
2019 Canadian Loonie Value FAQs
What is a 2019 Canadian loonie worth in pocket change?
Almost certainly $1.00 — face value. Both the Standard Loon and the Equality commemorative circulate as fully legal tender and trade at face unless certified by PCGS, NGC, or ICCS at MS-65 or higher. A certified MS-65 Standard Loon is worth approximately $20.30; an MS-65 Equality reaches approximately $21.90. Uncertified BU examples (MS60–MS63) command only $1.00–$2.90 at typical retail — barely above face.
Does a colourized $1 Equality loonie exist that I should look for?
No — and this is the most common misconception about 2019 Canadian coins. The Royal Canadian Mint did produce a colourized Equality coin, but it bears a $10 face value and is struck from ½ oz. of 99.99% pure silver, making it a completely separate Non-Circulating Legal Tender product. It was never issued with a $1 face value. Any $1 Equality coin bearing applied colour is an aftermarket alteration by a private company and carries no official numismatic premium as a colourized issue.
What makes a 2019 loonie genuinely valuable?
Three primary factors drive a premium above face: (1) Extreme grade rarity — achieving MS-65 or above on a heavy steel-planchet business strike is statistically difficult given the hopper-contact realities of mass production; MS-67 and MS-68 coins command ~$65–$119 CAD. (2) Design and finish exclusivity — the Pileated Woodpecker exists in only 30,000 Specimen Sets and can never be found in circulation. (3) Intact original packaging — sealed Equality Special Wrap Rolls of 25 coins are worth approximately $55 compared to $3 for a loose individual example, because the sealed roll guarantees undamaged surfaces.
Is my 2019 loonie silver?
No — unless it is the NCLT D-Day silver proof. All 2019 $1 coins intended for or found in pocket change are Multi-Ply Brass Plated Steel (MPBPS), containing no silver and carrying negligible metal value. If your $1 coin is non-magnetic and weighs approximately 23.17 grams, it is likely the 2019 75th Anniversary of D-Day pure silver proof dollar — a collector-only NCLT coin worth approximately $100 at PF67. Confirm with a precise digital scale and a magnet: base-metal loonies weigh 6.27 g and are strongly magnetic; the silver proof is non-magnetic and noticeably heavier.
What is the Pileated Woodpecker dollar, and can I find one in circulation?
The Pileated Woodpecker dollar features a Jean-Charles Daumas reverse design of a woodpecker scaling an oak trunk, struck exclusively with the RCM’s Specimen (SP) finish for the 2019 6-Coin Specimen Set (30,000 sets produced). It was never released for general circulation. Finding one in a bank roll or pocket change is essentially impossible — any example encountered was removed from a collector’s set by a previous owner. Even at the base SP65–SP66 grade level it commands a $9.80–$14.70 premium, simply because acquiring a raw specimen requires destroying an intact set worth roughly $35 USD at original retail.
What is the difference between Business Strike, Proof-Like, Specimen, and Proof?
Business Strike: Mass-produced for commerce with standard handling; cartwheel lustre with near-universal bag marks from hopper storage — the Standard Loon and Equality circulation coins. Proof-Like (PL) / BU: Higher strike pressure and careful set-assembly handling produce mirror-like fields with delicately frosted devices, free of heavy contact marks; found in the 2019 RCM Uncirculated Set. Specimen (SP): The RCM’s world-exclusive finish featuring precisely machined parallel matte lines in the fields with frosted relief — exclusive to the Pileated Woodpecker in 2019, and visually unlike any other finish. Proof (PF): Deeply mirrored “black glass” fields with ultra-heavy cameo frosted devices — exclusive to NCLT precious metal issues like the D-Day silver dollar, originally encapsulated and cased.
Should I get my 2019 loonie professionally graded?
Only if the coin clearly appears to meet the MS-65 threshold or higher. Third-party grading fees can easily exceed the numismatic premium of a coin that falls below gem status, making grading uneconomical for typical circulated or low-MS examples. For registry set competition, PCGS and NGC slabs are strongly preferred and consistently command higher auction premiums than ICCS flips for modern loonies, because registry collectors require specific branded plastic to advance their leaderboard rankings. ICCS remains the trusted conservative standard within the domestic Canadian dealer community and is widely respected. For the D-Day silver proof, professional grading — particularly to PF70 Ultra Cameo — can meaningfully increase realized value.
What is the 2019 D-Day 75th Anniversary silver dollar worth?
Approximately $100 CAD at PF67, and $200+ at PF70 Ultra Cameo. This Non-Circulating Legal Tender coin was struck from 99.99% pure silver (23.17 g / approximately 0.745 troy ounces of silver), carries a mintage of 20,000, and was sold by the Royal Canadian Mint at a premium above its $1 face value in a leather clamshell presentation case. Removing the coin from its original protective capsule, handling it with bare fingers, or separating it from its Certificate of Authenticity will significantly reduce its numismatic premium.
How do I quickly identify an Equality loonie in a bank roll?
Look for two intertwined, stylized human faces on the reverse (replacing the familiar swimming loon), accompanied by the bilingual inscription “EQUALITY / ÉGALITÉ” and dual dates “1969” and “2019.” The coin is physically identical in size (26.5 mm, 6.27 g, 11-sided plain edge) and magnetic properties to the Standard Loon — only the reverse design and the dual-year inscription distinguish it. Equality coins are fully valid legal tender and circulate freely alongside standard loonies, though their mintage of 3,000,000 means they are considerably less common in circulation than the 23,670,000-mintage Standard Loon.
