Post your New Old Canadian coins

I got this with a small lot of large cents I bought when I started my Canadian Large Cent collection. I don't think they were paying the engraver enough.

I think the New Penny is from the UK

 

Could be, I guess I was thinking Newfoundland?

 

I found one of these in a roll of pennies when I was roll hunting. I hadn't seen one so I asked about and I was told it was British. I researched a little tonight and found this: https://www.littletoncoin.com/shop/...dbZaScYV14eLu8nz5xprvCCrnixC2iLxoCbdgQAvD_BwE

 

edit.

 

I like , but it is not Canadian.

 

Just the reverse is not Canadian, front looks okay!

 

1929 Newfoundland large cent

 

I wouldn't want to carry a dollar worth of these in my pocket. For those not familiar the one penny is almost the size of a silver dollar and the half penny is larger than a quarter.

 

Those are amazing!!

 

Back then you could buy something for a penny!

1872 Newfoundland Cent with a 180 Degree die rotation?
A testimony for Acetone. This is the same cent I posted earlier and I was bothered by all the crud in the devices so I put it in acetone over night and gently brushed it with a soft child toothbrush this morning. During the process I discovered the coin flips north south like US coinage. This is the only Canadian piece I have that doesn't flip east west so I believe it has a 180 degree die rotation. If anyone has any info relevant to this please let me know.

 

1872 was coinage alignment. The other Vicky Newf cents are medal. Yours is normal coinage.

 

Thanks for the info, I have flipped many Canadian cents and this is the first time I saw this.

 

Just found a few of these. I'll post more pics if anyone is interested.

 

It's not that old, only 46 years young, but I like it despite the smudges and hairlines. I got it that way.
