The other noteworthy thing about this Canadian cent is that is was a short run for this type. They reduced the weight for two years and then reduced it again. Copper tends to get expensive fast.

- 1867-1919 = 5.67 grams, Bronze 95% Copper
- 1919-1920 = 5.67 grams, Bronze 95.5% Copper
- 1920-1979 = 3.24 grams, Bronze 98% Copper
- 1980-1981 = 2.80 grams, Bronze 98% Copper
- 1982-1996 = 2.50 grams, Bronze 98% Copper
- 1997-Present = 2.25 grams, Copper-Plated Zinc (Unknown% Copper likely 4.5%)

Do you have a cent form Canada and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.
I have a 1995 One Dollar Bill with the Star Note C00141325. I was wondering the value.
ReplyDelete1995 One Dollar Bill with the Star Note C00141325
ReplyDeleteAbout $1.50 in very-fine, most 1995 star notes were made in huge amounts. Over 7 million for this one alone. Must have been a bad year for printing.
How about 1977 Star Notes? Were there are a lot of those printed?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I got a 1969-C 50 Dollar Bill. It isn't a star note, but there is no extra paper on the top and the bottom is bigger than the top.

1969-C 50 Dollar Bill. It isn't a star note, but there is no extra paper on the top and the bottom is bigger than the top.

ReplyDelete2005 year of the veterans quarter worth and is it really silver?
ReplyDeleteJust $0.25 they are not silver.
Sorry for such a weird question :-)
ReplyDeleteHow old must a Canadian cent be to be worth at least $0.30? How about $0.80?
Also, is a 1940 Canadian nickel actually worth $2?
And just for the record: when did the Canadians stop making silver dimes/quarters/halves?

I found a penny of 1981 that's all white, I thought at first that it was a dime, but with the difference in diamiter, was proven wrong. I want to know if it is worth something more than 1 cent canadian?
