<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kvasir, post: 74197, member: 4139&quot;]Got home awhile ago but been watching 2 season premières!</p><p><br /></p><p>Ok just regurgitating from the Charlton Standard Catalogue borrowed from the library:</p><p><br /></p><p>The production of the BU sets of 1997-2000 moved between Ottawa and Winnipeg, created a need for using mint mark. Usually numismatic item such as these sets are produced solely in Ottawa. But in part way through 1997 the production transferred to Winnipeg. No mint mark was use that year but the packaging of the sets were different to denote different mint origins. </p><p><br /></p><p>In 1998 the W mint mark was used to distinguish the two when both Ottawa and Winnipeg were producing the sets. Part way through the year, though, the production were transfered back to Ottawa and no more mint mark was used until 2000 when part of the production was transferred back to Winnipeg. In 2003 the BU set with the new effigy was produced in Winnipeg again, thus containing the W mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Prior to the opening of the Royal Canadian Mint in 1908, Canadian coins were minted by the Royal Mint and the Heaton Mint in England. The ones from the Heaton Mint bears the &quot;H&quot; mint mark. You&#039;ll only find those in coins prior to 1908 in selective years.</p><p><br /></p><p>Other privy marks you can expect to see are the maple leaf and the dot. Either of these can be found in selective years just at the end of the date. They show coins that were minted in the year AFTER the indicated date, only in 1936/37 and 1947 I believe.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1949 penny of the common &quot;A&quot; between variety ranges:</p><p>EF-40...AU-50...MS-60 brown... MS-63 R/B...MS-65 Red</p><p>......1..........2....................3.............8...............100</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1943 penny ranges from 1$ EF-40 to $450 MS-65. </p><p>EF-40...AU-50...MS-60 brown... MS-63 R/B...MS-65 Red</p><p>......1..........2....................5.............22.............450</p><p><br /></p><p>1923 Nickel</p><p>F-12...VF-20...Ef-40...AU-50...MS-60...MS-63</p><p>.....2..........8.......25........70......175.......450</p><p><br /></p><p>Values in Canadian dollars, info and prices from 59th edition (2005) of the Charlton Standard.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
