Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 3:45 pm I remember reading on this forum that the pointed 5 was created with collectors in mind and they make up 0.1%? of the 1985 produced. I think. I don't really remember now Either way that 85 has seen quite enough, time to be retired! Rackster, the Canadian pennies from 1982-1996 are 12-sided. The Mint says that it's easier for visually impaired people to identify, but Striking Impressions says that it's to save on material cost. Maybe both. Report this Post to the Staff
Shoeplier Valued Member Canada 254 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 6:47 pm Quote: I am 2/3 through a box of nickels and hit a number of Canadian (I think 15 to this point) including a 16? Sided specimen. Not bad. (Close - they're 12-sided.) I always love finding 12-sided nickels, even if they're the more common later years. What year did you get? Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 03/30/2015 7:06 pm Oops, I misread that nickel as penny I've only found 2 of the 12 sided nickels (but then I don't roll hunt anymore either). They were made 12 sided so that when they switched over to the tombac alloy people won't confuse them with cents when they tarnish. Since the collar cracks at the corners when they went back to use nickel (it's a hard metal), they made the 5 cent coin round again. A bit of trivia... Thomas Shingles cut the matrix for the Victory nickels by hand since the RCM didn't have a reducing machine. Report this Post to the Staff

xd99xd Valued Member Canada 174 Posts	Posted 03/31/2015 12:02 am The 64's sides are like a normal nickel, but it looks like it is in very good condition with not to many scratches or nicks from being environmental. Report this Post to the Staff

Fixguy Pillar of the Community Canada 532 Posts	Posted 04/06/2015 9:51 pm Your 2011 looks like a Struck Through Grease. Try using mineral oil on the rust. Report this Post to the Staff
