<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 244303, member: 1824&quot;]Steve,just because a Canadian Maple Leaf says $5 on it doesn&#039;t mean that you can use it as a $5 coin,because it was issued way above the face value by the Royal Canadian Mint&#039;s Ottawa branch.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your analogy with the U.S. banknote doesn&#039;t make sense,as it was originally issued at its face value.It is a case of supply &amp; demand that has driven the price upward.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do you see where I am coming from?</p><p><br /></p><p>John,that is a very nice collection of Canadian 1c. coins you&#039;ve got there.There&#039;s a few key dates in there.The 1898 &amp; 1900 1c. coins have the &#039;H&#039; mintmark hidden near the bottom among the leaves.The 1911 is a historic coin,as it is from the &#039;Godless&#039; coinage.Which obverse subtype is the 2006 1c.? Does it have the &#039;P&#039; plating mark,nothing,or a mintmark (which looks like a &#039;W&#039; on top of an &#039;M&#039;)?</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
