<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ikandiggit, post: 818109, member: 16269&quot;]A couple of months ago I purchased approx. 24,000 pre-1960 Canadian cents from a friend of mine who has had them sitting in his garage for the last 20+ years. I&#039;ve spent several weeks sorting and examining almost all of them. I sorted out the &#039;48&#039;s and 49&#039;s and all the &#039;20&#039;s and 30&#039;s that were in the pile so I could check them later for varieties. I also pulled out any pennies with flaws (both mint and post-mint). </p><p><br /></p><p>I still have to search the rolls.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few pics of some of the interesting ones I&#039;ve come across. Over the next few weeks I&#039;ll post under specific headings such as die cracks, laminations, etc.. But for now, here&#039;s a few to whet your appetite.</p><p><br /></p><p>The first two pics appear to be a &quot;struck through&quot;. There is no damage on the back of the cent:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/40st1a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/40st1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The next cent has an &quot;A&quot; at the top of the head of King George:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/41Aa.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/41A1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This one has a nice die crack running through the &quot;9&quot; in the date:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/44dc1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This has a good sized lamination flaw at the lower edge:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/48lam1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s another die crack running through the top of the leaves:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/52diecrck1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/52diecrck2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>And this last one has it&#039;s date obliterated:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i720.photobucket.com/albums/ww201/ikandiggit/holeydate.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
