1 Cent Canadian Coin

At least one cent.

2008-03-09 11:53:11 by Glenda

complete collection of 1867~1967 Canadian coin sets: 1 dollar(silver),50 cents(silver),25 cents(silver),5 cents, and 1 cent

Must these coins be turned in at a Bank or Financial Institution or can they be sold for their copper value? If they can be sold for their mineral value, does anyone know where I could take them in the GTA area. I have a 'huge' number.

It looks like some people are starting to notice that certain coins are worth more than face value. People are selling them to coin dealers, and also buying sacks of coins, expecting them to go up in value based on the price of metals.

It's not illegal. There is a smelter in Toronto which will probably buy your pennies if you have enough of them. See link.

If they offer to purchase the coins from you, email me. I'm interested in selling coins to them, too.

it is a canadian 1 cent coin from 1944

The Canadian 1944 cent had a mintage of 44,131,215 so it is not rare but from 1940-1946 it was the lowest. Seems the coin is common in normal circulated grades (condition) and sells for .10-.45 cents. It is some what rare in high grades and sells for $12 in low mint state grades and $100 in higher mint state grades. you have a coin that actually has more historic value than a monetary one. World War II had been hard on Canada, for they entered the war 2 years before the US. To bad your coin can not talk, for it may just have a great story to tell.

My dad has a 10 cent Canadian coin and it's missing the 1 at the beginning. It says 975 instead of 1975. He wants to put it up on eBay just to see how much he'd get for it..

We've been trying to pictures of it, but it never turns out right.. We want to take pictures specifically of the misprinted date. Every time we'd do it, the picture would turn out blurry and if we'd try it with the flash on it'd just be really light and you couldn't see anything. We've tried in the dark with the flash on, etc and nothing works.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

try taking the picture from an angle instead of straight on

the Royal Canadian Mint is making way too many coins. Most of them don't even have pictures to do with Canada on them like 1 has a picture a of Santa Clause on it, another is shaped like a playing Card, there are about 40 different olympics quarters, Hockey team symbols, about 50 different olympic dollar coins, a 20dollar coin with a picture of sharks on it, most of them are not even being circulated and have to be purchased off the Mint. My point is they are making way too many and making it imposable for a Collect to get them all, especially since they are not all being circulated. any thoughts on the subject?

take a look:

(excuse any spelling or grammar mistakes)

It is frustrating for the long-time collector, but the long-time collector is not who they're going after. They are hoping to attract new collectors, and offering a huge variety of choices opens it up to a wider audience. The RCM ( and the US Mint, who is doing the same thing on a much smaller scale) isn't worried about future value as much as they are selling what they have today.

It's completely a business decision, and it's perfectly understandable. Think about it. These mints are government entities. Do they make money from the coins they produce to be used as money? Absolutely not, they lose money. They sell what they produce to banks at face value; production and distribution costs eat that up and then some. But what they produce for the collector market (and don't forget the sizable investor sub-market) is sold for substantial premiums. Wouldn't you, if you were in the business of making coins?
