1991 Canada Cent

Do you have a Canadian cent and want to know its value? Leave a comment

Three months into 2011 and I have yet to find any foreign coins. Of course plenty of Canadians but nothing from a country that is more than a bus ride away. This is odd since one third of my finds are foreign coins.

Possible lack of coins from far off lands....
  • Continuing economic troubles
  • Snowy winter made NY travel tough
  • Devaluation of the dollar
  • Metal hoarders
  • More access to the web
The last item on the list is interesting if you think about it. Twenty years ago if you found a Morocco Dirham you may look at it and think you lost out on American money. Maybe you would hold on to it and a few months later check the internet. Soon you would notice how this coin is just fraction of the value its U.S. counter part. Maybe you already thought this and just threw it back into circulation.

Today you get it and whip out that smartphone and get currency values, eBay values, and blogger/forum opinions. You then notice that everything has some value and choose to put it aside hoping to become rich in the near future. This coupled with the other things on the above list distorts the reality of the coin market.

The problem is that finding a $3.00 coin does not mean you have pizza money in your pocket. Selling, shipping, and fees makes only the most skilled able to turn a profit. That truth falls aside as more people looking to get rich quick and hoard coins.

Back to my find...

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / Canada
Year: 1991
Mintage: 831,010,000
Metal: 98% Copper, 0.5% Tin, 1.5% Zinc
Value: $0.02

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

At least you can legally melt the Canadian copper pennies for the copper.

At least you can legally melt the Canadian copper pennies for the copper.

I've been trying to get access to at the local college to try this but there are rules and insurance problems. I just want to make a copper bar.

Canada can be considered a true treasure trove for rare and special coins. That is why collectors are advised not to overlook the many wonderful coins produced by Canada. They are simply too unique and valuable to be ignored!

Found a two(2) headed canadian 1 cent. Heads are from same era (1910-1936?). No year on coin; I'm sure you understand why. I read up a bit on trick coins and counterfeits. It's probably a hand made joke coin -- but Very Well Crafted as far as I'm concerned. Is it possible I have a true error and not a joke coin? I saw what is probably a seam consistent with machine work after production... but what stats or knowledge can you lend to tell me otherwise.

There have been 2 "Two-tailed" Canadian cents both from 1980.
The way Canada makes coins it is impossible for two-headed coins. That said having different designs would be even more impossible.

I think it is a well made magic coin that has been worn clean of tamper marks over the years.

Under high magnification along with a a slight twisting motion you may see the seam.

Here is a good magazine showing other two-headed coins...you'll see they are obvious when they are genuine errors.

Well I can speak for my country USA but if your in Canada it should be the same.
Yes, as long as you are not advertising for profit or trying to pass off a coin as another denomination for business.

So all foreign and domestic coins are free to use in art. You can drill them, paint them, plate them or smash them into bits and it is legally. Even selling them as art is fine as long as you are trying to use them at the store.

Here is one art piece I saw at a local museum: Coin basket
