Canadian Values/Lincoln Cent Values Hi everyone, - I'm new here but, does anyone know were if there is a coin trading forum on the internet? - I have 3 different Canadian coins 1 nickel & 2 pennies and i was just wondering if anyone knew what the value of these coins are. Nickel --> 1923 Pennies --> 1943 & 1949 When it comes to Canadian dimes or coins in that matter, is there a P,D,S system they use? - I just bought this 1910 S lincoln cent off eBay does any one how much it's worth? I all so have a lincoln cent collection dating 1909 - 2005 only missing (1909 - S, 1909 - S (VDB), 1911 - S, 1912 - S, 1913 - S, 1914 - D, 1914 - S, & 1931 - S) does any one know how much it's worth these days? - All so does any one know what an American Wildlife Series coin is worth? - Let me know Thanks
I think the obv. has a little to much wear to make a fine grade so I'll go with a VG10 grade. Value about $10.00.
1923 Cdn nickel VG .50, F 1.25, VF 5.00 1943 Cdn 1¢ F .20 VF .35 The 1949 1¢ depends on where the second letter A in the word "GRATIA" is pointing.The most common one is probably worth only face value.
thanks Wow, Not bad for a $4.00 investment on the 1910 - S Lincoln Cent. As far as the 1949 Canadian Penny here's a picture if it helps. Thanks.
No, the P,D,S mintmarks only appears on US coins, as they refer to the mint in which those are produced. P for Philidelphia, D for Denver and S for San Francisco. Traditionally, Canadian coins contain no mint mark and other than in the early days of confederation and pre confederation some coins were minted in England and some in Ottawa were they included mintmarks. Today (since 1967 or so) all circulation coins are minted in Winnipeg so there's no need for mint marks. Prior to the opening of the Winnipeg mint the coins were minted solely in Ottawa, so again, no need for mint mark. I'll have to double check with my reference, but in a certain years some uncirculated sets were minted in both the Ottawa and Winnipeg mints, thus some contain the O and some contains W mint marks. The P you see on some recent coins (since 2000 or so) is a privy mark denoting the steel plated composition in some of these coins. In some of those years both the steel plated variety and the nickel or copper varieties exist. For example in 2003, FOUR varieties of the penny exist. P and No P; one with the crowned effigy and the new one uncrowned. Theoretically you can have a coin with two different letter marks, WP for example. But you only see those in collector sets. I'll have other info once i get my hand on my reference.
kvasir, thanks for all the info. it has been very helpful. i only ask if Canadian coins have mint marks is because some one just gave me about $100 dollars in canadian change ranging from quarter to pennies and i was going try to put a set together. some thing new form U.S. coins for a change. keep the info. coming it's helping. thanks
Got home awhile ago but been watching 2 season premières! Ok just regurgitating from the Charlton Standard Catalogue borrowed from the library: The production of the BU sets of 1997-2000 moved between Ottawa and Winnipeg, created a need for using mint mark. Usually numismatic item such as these sets are produced solely in Ottawa. But in part way through 1997 the production transferred to Winnipeg. No mint mark was use that year but the packaging of the sets were different to denote different mint origins. In 1998 the W mint mark was used to distinguish the two when both Ottawa and Winnipeg were producing the sets. Part way through the year, though, the production were transfered back to Ottawa and no more mint mark was used until 2000 when part of the production was transferred back to Winnipeg. In 2003 the BU set with the new effigy was produced in Winnipeg again, thus containing the W mark. Prior to the opening of the Royal Canadian Mint in 1908, Canadian coins were minted by the Royal Mint and the Heaton Mint in England. The ones from the Heaton Mint bears the "H" mint mark. You'll only find those in coins prior to 1908 in selective years. Other privy marks you can expect to see are the maple leaf and the dot. Either of these can be found in selective years just at the end of the date. They show coins that were minted in the year AFTER the indicated date, only in 1936/37 and 1947 I believe. The 1949 penny of the common "A" between variety ranges: EF-40...AU-50...MS-60 brown... MS-63 R/B...MS-65 Red ......1..........2....................3.............8...............100 The 1943 penny ranges from 1$ EF-40 to $450 MS-65. EF-40...AU-50...MS-60 brown... MS-63 R/B...MS-65 Red ......1..........2....................5.............22.............450 1923 Nickel F-12...VF-20...Ef-40...AU-50...MS-60...MS-63 .....2..........8.......25........70......175.......450 Values in Canadian dollars, info and prices from 59th edition (2005) of the Charlton Standard.
