1956 Canadian Cent

With a limited number of Canadian cents out in the wild now finding them is becoming a little more difficult. Still there are billions out there so it is not rare at all.

I found at least 68 unique Canadian coins from 1916 to 2012. There are over 100+ cents between that time and I have most of the later issues. Now it is all about finding the older ones.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / Canada
Year: 1956
Mintage: 78,685,535
Metal: 98% Copper, 0.5% Tin, 1.5% Zinc
Value: $0.50 in Very-Good

2009 Bahamas Cent

First of the smaller copper-plated zinc cents, from 2009 to present they have been used. Smaller production and many years skipped still does not make this coin rare.

The previous issue was the same composition but 19mm compared to this one at 17mm. Also it is lighter at 1.75g compared to the previous 2.50g. Not sure how much money was saved since the production historically is small but any cost saving is good, I guess.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / Bahamas
Year: 2009
Mintage: Unknown
Metal: Copper-Plated Zinc
Value: $0.02 in XF
