I search US Cent bank boxes and without fail , I find twice as many Canadian Cents as I do US Wheats. I never knew there were so many differently desinged Canadian Cents in such a narrow time period , until buying these US Cent boxes.

 

Hey Rick - Truly nice finds from circulation !

I haven't a clue how to grade coins but I feel pretty confident that both the 5cent and 1cent would not grade as high as MS-63.
So by the process of elimination , the 5cent could be valued at anywhere from 35cents to $60.00 US and the 1cent could be valued from 20cents to $14.00 US.

 

Nice coins man, and incredible finds for circ finds.
I would say the 1927 is F-12 and you might be able to squeeze .75 cents out of it.
The 1934 I would grade at XF-40, and I would venture a price range of 2.00 ish. I find the early cents are rather difficult in a nice solid XF grade, but are easy to find on either side of sheldon scale.
So I might even be willing to spend AU money, for a solid XF just because I like the eye appeal of most XF's more than AU's.

 

Thanks guys. I,m gonna keep looking for that money coin. Rick

 

I lived in Canada for a couple of years and started to collect some of their beautiful coins. I loved the twonie.

 

Yea they are nice. They now have a few different designs of them, as well as a variety of Loonies ... Rick

 

Super nice. It is always great to find old coins. When I lived in upstate New York many years ago, I was able to find an entire set of Canadian small cents from circulation since the first minted date in 1920.

 

I didn't see any mention of a reference book from anyone so I will recommend you buy a copy of A Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins. $20 CDN and worth every cent! Take the time to go through it and you can gather the information you need regarding what to look for.

 

Before you count all those beads you should know the LB/SB varieties refer to the portrait of Her Royal Highness, Queen Elizabeth II. There is a Large Bust and there is a Small Bust type. The Small Bust has fewer beads which are moved further from the rim than the Large Bust. Also Charton says not more than 10,000 of the Large Bust variety coins were minted. Total mintage for the 1973 RCMP commem is 135,958,589 so the odds of getting an LB coin are very low.

 

Thanks for info. I went out today and baught a book of Canadian coins called Canadian coins of canada by J.A Haxby. Lots of informitive info in there. Thanks again Rick

 

A few more coins i found today.. I found the 1935 Canadian nickle and the 39 American nickle in the same roll.

 

The 35 Canadian nickle is a bit damaged and not sure if it will be of any value...

 

I have one of those too. An excellent reference book! The biggest difference between COINS OF CANADA and the CHARLTON STANDARD CATALOGUE is the level of detail with the Charlton putting a lot of emphasis on identifying varieties. The Charlton is a 2 volume set with the 2nd volume providing an in depth look at non-circulating Mint product. I probably can do without Volume 2.

 

I find i,m looking more toward the American coins rather then the Canadian.. I guess i find that the value is much higher then the Canadian coins....
