No, that's the obverse (front) .

There were 10.040,231 minted, so it's not very rare. Coin values depend upon rarity, condition, supply, demand, eye appeal, and more. Your particular cent has a catalog (retail) value between 60¢ and $9.

 

thanks so much...I just have some old coins around from my mom and was looking at them ...would you happen to know any thing about a 1916 Canadian one cent coin? It has leaves in a circle on one side .

 

1916 Canadian One Cent: 11,022,367 minted in bronze.
Features King George the Fifth.
VG= $0.50
F= $0.65
VF= $0.90
EF= $2
MS60= $12
MS63= $45

 

what am I looking for to tell what rating you would give the coin?

 

Wear and where.

Highest points on a coin wear first.

Points of wear on this coin are the eyebrow, the band of the crown and on the reverse the wreath.

The more detail you can find in theses areas the higher the grade.

 

could you tell me where I would see a perfect example of what it should look like to compare what condition mine is in ...as I have no idea..really

 

If I could just add these retail values from Canadian Coin News trends in Cdn $

1916 1 cent - VG-.75,F-1.00,VF-2.00,EF-3.00,AU-10.00,MS-60-25.00,MS-62-45.00,MS-63-90.00,MS-64-225.00,MS-65-600.00.

1935 1 cent - VG-.20, F-.50, VF-1.00, EF-2.00, AU-6.00 MS-60-20.00, MS-62-35.00, MS63-75.00, MS-64-175.00 MS-65-600.00.

I have a reasonable example of the 1935 that is I think an AU. I am trying to get a good picture to show you, perhaps I'll have one later this evening

 

While not perfect this is EF.

Here's a picture of a similar coin in MS-64 (it's a 1940, but same design as 1937):
