Canada small cent.

I am going through about 500 canada small pennies before I toss them in the coin counter at the bank. Any I should be looking for to keep? Never really was much into the penny or cent for those that prefer that lingo

Nothing personal, but if you live in Canada, collect coins, and don't know which Canadian pennies are worth saving, I suggest you put your Canada 20c piece plans on hold, indefinitely. Buy a Krause, or a Charlton's (if they still publish them), or look up prices online.

ANY George V is worth saving. Any George VI with mint luster is worth saving. There are some picky little varieties of Elizabeth that are downright rare, you would need photos to recognize them.

 

do me a favour doug.. do not reply to any more of my posts.. thanks

Pathetic people would fake a 3.00 coin

 

So you mean to tell me if I have a 2006 magnetic Canadian cent. It's worth $3

I mean you can always do what the Chinese did forge lower currency and dump it into the market

Hey if you want proof just look at the de December 1st 2008 and later on in 2009 I believe it was January 2009 or sometime that year they had several issues in about a Chinese counterfeiter was able to create realistic and actually weighted properly. Counterfeit

Based on coinflation, you may want to keep any Canadian cent prior to 1996. They are worth more than melt.

As a Canadian small cent collector I highly recommend the Charlton Catalogue. Titled, Canadian Coins(68th Edition), you will only need Volume One. There are 11 pages devoted to small cents, with good detailed pictures of major varieties and dates to be looking for magnetic issues as well. Well worth the price.
