momofmonsters New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted 04/17/2015 8:20 pm Hello I am new to this forum and was wondering if someone could help me. My inlaws gave me some old coins to sell which included quite a few Canadian large and small pennies. Included in this were 9 1916 large cent coins with one of them being made of white metal. I have been searching around for info on this and was wondering if anyone had any info on this. I have included scans of front and back of all 9 coins. Thanks! Susan Report this Post to the Staff

Cheers Don Vickies cents and GB Farthings nut. "Old" is a figure of speech and nothing more Edited by fourmack 04/17/2015 8:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff
