That is a 2006 with no mark, not the 2006-P. There are a couple rare varieties for this year, a 2006 that is magnetic and a 2006-P that is not. Unless you have one of those two, your coin is worth face value circulated.

 

Thanks I usually dont do canada

 

The steel version ones are worth checking - i see one on ebay over a (C) hundred dollars. These are usually a hundred plus dollar coin. is your magnetic ??? but the odds is that its zinc. Snowman

 

No just checked

 

They don't make them anymore.

 

Really I didnt knkw that I'll just put into my collection

 

I mean Canada stopped producing Cents a few years ago.

 

The 2006P copper plated zinc is a mule with only 82 known

I double checked again to see if the logo might have faded no go and it weighs 2.25

 

But if I ever come across another one thx for the heads up on what to look for

 

that 2012 to be exact

 

it was mentioned that Canada doesn't make their cent anymore. It seems to me that they send them all down here in North Carolina. I bet I get at least 1 in change every other month. I just put them in my Canada collection.

 

have you ever found hog ones before?

 

Not sure what "hog" ones are.

 

As I've reiterated in the past, Canada was incredibly stupid for not continuing minting their "pennies" for collectors only. They could have charged a premium for them, making money and keeping collectors happy. If the U.S. Mint decides to eliminate circulating zincolns, hopefully they continue to mint collection quality Lincoln cents reverting back to the pre 1982 copper-rich composition. The Mint would make money and keep collectors happy. Of course, that is assuming that the U.S. Mint would actually care about collectors.
