Canada 1 cent info

I found a Canadian one cent today with Elezabeth on the obverse, and on the reverse it has 1 cent at the top and 1867-1967 at the bottom sorry not sure of what type of bird is in the center of the coin. Looks like it might be a sea gull info on this coin please and KM # number if you have it thanks.

According to the Charlton Catalog of Canadian Coins, that's a rock dove gracing the Canadian Confederation centennial cent, with a mintage of 345,140,645 in 3.24g .980 copper. MS values are listed at Can$1-40.

KM# 65 in the 2007 Krause catalog. The MS values are only US10-20¢, and $1 for the proof.

 

Bruce,all the coins that were issued by Canada in 1967 were issued to commemorate the Centenary of the Dominion of Canada,including a $20 gold medal-coin (which is a commemorative,despite not having the double dates).

If you find one in MS-66 (practically perfect?), the value will be in the 3-digit range.

 

These are the canada 100 year commeratives. Each of the coins have a different animal on them. I have found a lot of the pennies in circulated rolls but the other demoninations are pretty hard to find in circulation.

 

Creeboy,it has already been mentioned,but you can learn a lot from us old hands here.

Aidan.

 

heh, thanks.
