After 22 years of intense searching I finally got a 1990 Canadian Cent in my American change. As I pointed out earlier this year I found nearly every Canadian cent from the 1950s to now, except for 1990. Most 1990 Canadian coins were made in lower amounts and also hoarded so they are relatively rare in circulation.
Normally cent mintage averages 700 million and for 1989 they boosted the production to over a billion. For 1990 they changed design and lowered the mintage to just over 218 million. That is not rare or scarce but hoarding and low circulation made them tough to find in your change. Many were graded so the average coin holds no extra value.
The 1990 Canadian cent featured a brand new portrait of Queen Elizabeth designed for the first time by a Canadian, Dora de Pédery-Hunt. This design lasted until 2003 when they updated her portrait again. There was much pride in having a Canadian design the obverse for the coins of half the world. It was probably because of this that people kept this first of its kind cent.
Here's the stats...
Type / Country: 1 Cent / CanadaYear: 1990
Mintage: 218,035,000
Metal: 98% Copper, 0.5% Tin, 1.5% Zinc
Value: $0.02 in XF
Also found a 1989 Canadian cent but since I found another a couple of weeks ago there is no need to repeat myself.
Do you have a Canadian coin 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

what do you think would be the value of 3 consecutive, CU 1957 silver certs?
3 consecutive, CU 1957 silver certs
Depends on serial number of at least one note.
*1957B
W77113583A (to W77113585A)
$1 CU 1957B W77113583A (to W77113585A)
About $4.00 each.
Is that a retail kind of estimate? (on the high end or low end?)

Sellers value and low end.
That said this is average as you can pick up a graded CU for $5.00 or less in most coin shops and definitely on eBay.
Thanks. I just thought that maybe they would be worth more since they are 3 that run consecutively
Hi
I have a few coins from the Dominican Republic that I have gotten in NYC and PR.
My question is are they silver? And what metals are they made of. I know they aren't worth much.

1981 10 Centavos
10 Cents 1984
10 Cents 1986

...maybe they would be worth more since they are 3 that run consecutively
No.
Consecutive notes do not bring extra value unless the notes are rare.
None of these are silver.
