1987 Canada Cent

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

Found three Canadian cents in short span but two were repeats so I just showcased this one. Eventually there will be a point that there are no more unique Canadian cents to post. Since I will not do reruns most Canada posts will slowly go away. Luckily Canada makes dozens of new coin types each year. So maybe there is hope.

The other two finds not pictured.
1967 Canada cent very green found in my change.
2011 Canada Cent found across the street from Occupy Wall St. I guess non-U.S. money is not a priority.

Here's the stats...
Type / Country: 1 Cent / Canada
Year: 1987
Mintage: 774,549,000

Almost a year since my last Spanish euro find. The second least common of the Spanish 2 euro cents only the 2002 had a lower mintage. Once again like most euros they are still very common.

1993 Argentina 25 Centavos (Cu-Ni)

Do you have an Argentinian coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment

This was a nice recent change find. Argentinian coins sometimes pop up in my change thanks to a healthy tourist trade. I can only assume that the big 25 confused someone into thinking it was a quarter. Although our quarters do not have a big 25 on them I can see how it can pass with little thought.

25 centavos (cents) 1993

· REPUBLICA ARGENTINA ·  EN UNION Y LIBERTAD (· REPUBLIC ARGENTINA ·  IN UNION AND LIBERTY)

This coin has two varieties.
First is the same design except made of brass, which I never seen and can only assume is brass colored. This type had a smaller minting of 80 million.
Second is the one pictured which is copper-nickel (Cu-Ni) and has a higher minting of 390 million.

Either type you have be aware they have the same value.

Here's the stats ...

2007 Canada Dime St7

Do you have a Canadian dime and want to know its value? Leave a comment
 
That St7 is not a secret code it stands for Straight 7. For the 2007 Canada dime two types were minted the first and most common is the straight leg 7. The second type, which I have yet to find, is a curved legged 7.  The curved variety was allegedly only for sets but as you know anything is possible in change finds.

Sorry for the blur but limited camera time did not allow for a re-shoot. Still you can see the 7 is very straight also the 00 is more rectangular. If this was a Curve 7 variety the 00 would be more oval shaped and of course the 7 would have a ( slant to the leg.

 

Here's the stats...

Type/Country: 10 Cents / Canada
Year: 2007 (St7)
Mintage: 304,110,000
Metal: 92% Steel, 5.5% Copper, and 2.5% Nickel
Value: $0.10 in Extra-Fine

1997 Canada Penny

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

This cent is a recent change find and common. I cannot recall where I got it because finding Canadian money is becoming so common that I almost ignoring them. Sometimes I need a second look to make that I want to separate it from my normal change.

2002 Italy 5 Euro Cents

Do you have an Italian Euro and want to know its value? Leave a comment

Almost a year to the day I found my last Italian euro find. This one was found on the floor in front of a Coinstar machine. Apparently many people tried to pass it through until someone got so upset they threw it on the ground with furious anger. I may have exaggerated the details for effect.

The third most common euro coin behind the Italian 20 Cents and 1 Cent coins of the same year. I guess Italy wanted to go all in when they switched to euros. Recently I have read no one uses the 1, 2, or 5 euros cents much in Europe so it is getting rejected everywhere.

Notice a dark blob on the coin. Again this is guess but I think it is ink. People often carry pens and coins in the same place so it could possibly be a leaky pen. This is a case where pure acetone wold help since it is a low value coin it may be worth the experiment one day.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 5 Euro Cents / Italy
Year: 2002
Mintage: 1,341,742,204
Metal: Copper Plated Steel
Value: $0.06 in Fine
