Canada Penny Find

Do you have a Canada cent and want to find out its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.

I found these two Canadian cents in my pocket change today.

This brings my found Canadian coins to 251. Most of which are not worth much. They must be in a high grade to be sold or bought by dealers.

Here's the stat for these two coins...
Year: 1966
Metal: 98% Copper, 0.5% Tin, 1.5% Zinc
Mintage: 183,644,388
Value: MS-60 $0.10 (mint state 60 out of 70)

Year: 1995
Metal:98% Copper, 0.5% Tin, 1.5% Zinc
Mintage: 624,983,000
Value: MS-60 $0.10 (mint state 60 out of 70)

The oldest Canada cent I found was from 1943 at VG-8 it's worth $0.10, at MS-63 it's $25.00. The only low grade Canadian penny that is valued high a 1955 variety at about $85.00.

Sidenote: I've been using a scanner get a picture of my coins but I think I might try my camera to get more details I never did learn how to properly use the scanner, why start now.

Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins is the best coin reference in print.

2346 dollars worth, for Comments/Questions click here.:

1955 canadian penny, do you know a good place to sell it?

A normal variety is about $0.10 so eBay would be the best since coin shops would not bother.

True, but it is not recommended as it is considered fraud and may lower the value.

Im starting to collect and wanted to know what Quarters are valuable.

Man said...

Im starting to collect and wanted to know what Quarters are valuable.

Anything before 1965 has silver value, 1932-D and 1932-S are key.

Aside from that most modern quarters have little extra value in low grades.

MoneyDude said...

I dont mean to ask sooo many questions, but are there any valuable pennies?

I know the 45 copper penny valuable, but what others?

Man said...

are there any valuable pennies?

I know the 45 copper penny valuable, but what others?


Wrong 1943 copper cents would be rare as they are errors.

Errors exists for all coins and they have extra value.

That said for cents:
Rare dates: 1909-S, 1909-S V.D.B., 1914-D, 1922, 1931-S
Scarce dates: 1910-S, 1911-S, 1912-S, 1913-S, 1914-S, 1915-S, 1922-D, 1922-D, 1924-D

MoneyDude said...

What does V.D.B. stand for?

Man said...

What does V.D.B. stand for?

Victor David Brenner was a coin designer early in coin making for the U.S. initials were not allowed on coins.

Brenner placed his initials VDB on the first cents and then someone noticed and it was removed but some made it out to the public.

Currently designer initials are allowed.

MoneyDude said...

THANKS SOO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

Sorry that I wasted your time :(

Ill recommend you to my friends!

Man said...

@MoneyDude, no problem I enjoy this.

Keep collecting and have fun with it, I mean it is still money that can be used for food if not valuable.

These are not coins but Shell Gas Stations medals made in the late 1960s to 1970s.

In circulated grade each is about $1.00 but they are common.

Is silver supposed to weigh more than the original metal?

Man said...

1971 silver penny

It needs to be weighed to find out what type of error this may be.

Man said...

Is silver supposed to weigh more than the original metal?

Not always.

The weight tells us what type type of error it may be. It may be silver, zinc, or copper-nickel clad.

It may also be plated and only the weight will tell since these weigh the same as a normal cent.

I am assuming they all have been circulated and no varieties or errors.

It's possible they are in very-fine but that will double the value at most.

These coins are common and will continue to have low values for years.

Each pennies has just metal value of about $0.03 each.

The pennies are considered damaged since they were plated.

The center is a badge from Canadian Royal Army Chaplains' division and I think the pennies were added after the war was over.
The badge is about $5.00.

As a whole piece no more than $10.00.

Man said...

--No it should be copper.
They kept making copper cents throughout the war.

Could this be an error coin or perhaps a fake? Is there anyway to tell the authenticity of the coin?
--If it weighs around 3.24 grams it is a plated fake.
Any other weight is a possible valuable error.

KG means Kruger Gray the designer of the reverse of the coin. His initials are normal and does not change the value.

Each Mint State cent is about $2.50, if certified Perfect (MS-70) it would be $55.00 each.

That said ungraded they would be $0.50 even if they look perfect because they are common ungraded
