    I posted another thread with many Canada Large Cents, but I decided to make a new thread with just the 6 1859 Canada large cents. I'm wondering how much the 6 1859 Canada large cents are worth, I paid $1.50 for all of them, but I assume that they are worth more.

    Nice coins. I hope they're not lying on concrete (looks that way). Put some up, priced individually, I'll look them over; I still need 6 dates to complete.

    There are a few varieties of the 1859 with repunched dates. One type is worth a bit more.

    Gives a good example of what an 1859 large cent goes for in xf-au.
    It's the second year they were minted and only two years with that obverse. There are several varieties of the 1859 and it is worth checking them with a loop and researching them.

    As a long-time collector of Canadian Large Cents and their varieties, I can't see much from the photos, from a marker standpoint. The 1859's were, by far, the highest minted cents (about 10 million) until WWI in the mid teens. Some of your coins have been cleaned or damaged, but there are a couple good ones. Average circ 59's are $2-3 with XF's $10-12 unless something special. You got a bargain.
