1988 Canada Cent

Do not worry every Canadian cent I feature means one less to show off in the future. Two years after the end of Canadian cents and there still seems to be plenty in U.S. change but do not expect that to last.

Like other Canadian cents this one has a higher metal value than its face value. Still common and I think can be melted if your not in Canada.


Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / Canada
Year: 1988
Mintage: 482,676,752
Metal: 98% Copper, 0.5% Tin, and 1.5% Zinc
Value: $0.02 in F

Do you have a cent from 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.

  1. I found a 1953 candian penny.It is a little smaller than a regular penny, do that the edge is higher on both sides ,it looks like it did't get press right. you look sideways the collar is thicker do to the high edgeing. the is no edgeing lines on boarder on face or back.I can not find a error like this

    Sounds like spooning damage, no extra value.
