Hey all I pulled these 2 from a roll today and wanted to see what you all thought about the grade. Its amazing that I live nearly 700 miles from Canada and these managed to make their way to me.
Nice. I'm not good at grading. I found a coin from the Dominican Republic metal detecting on a NYC beach...1,549 miles away. Anything is possible.
Looks to be in F-VF+ I don't specialize in Canada but being from PA I see a bunch of it I have a bin of Canadian I keep burying in the safe for the day I meet the expert! Good luck hunting!
Finding GV cents is amazing, two is next to impossible. I believe since 2007 I have only found about half a dozen, fortunately one of them is the rare 1925 in EF that is probably my most valuable cent find aside from one of the 1858 FE cents.
Nice finds; unfortunate your 1929 is not a "high 9" variety. http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?coin=1-cent-1929&years=1-cent-1920-1936
Nice finds! Were these were bank rolls, and were they in the same roll? That would be just as amazing.
Was it a 1980's-1990's 25 centavo? May have been mine. Used to vacation in DR with my folks back then when I was a teen. We would bring back rolls of their 25 centavo coins because they worked in NYC parking meters same as a US quarter and you got like 40 of them for about $2. I also used to try and skip them across the water on beaches here.
Some banks roll their own that way, they have the machines for it. Still, it would mean the coin came direct from a customer, right to their counting machine, then rolled. The banks that don't have those rolling machines, which probably comprise the majority of banks, are the ones sending those $50 bank bags off their counting machines to their reserves where they're then audited then mixed in with the other cents from the other banks before they're rolled, and those are the crimped rolls.
