Was just looking at my 2006 charlton and was trying to determine if wanted 2 collect all the varieties or just do it by date when I found that the large cents are split in my book one section has from 1858-1859 and the next from 1876-1920 and in the second section theres a jump from 1876 to 1881 can anyone tell me if there are no such coins for these dates or is my book missing them?? EDIT- Also if anyone knows the proper count for the large cents going based on date only how many are there (not including varieties)
hi, there are 40 different dates for the large cent, and there wernt any minted during that time frame. I would strongly suggest collecting the variety's too, there arnt that many of 'em
i'd love to but my budget doesn't allow for me to buy coins at 50 bucks a pop usually so filling in some of the varieties will really stretch my pocket book for a decent one
The first section you mentioned was for cents issued by the Province of Canada, present day Ontario and Quebec. The second section was for coins issued for Canada as a nation. The Province of Canada coins were latter absorbed as the nations coins, and yes the years missing in Charlton means that no coin was issued for those years or at least none are known to exist.
