I'm thinking about creating a short year set of canadian non silver nickels and small cents but I don't know how many coins that were include in each since I don't know canadian series. Were there ever mint marks and is there any major varieties I could include.

I got a decent score and start on it at the coin store today. I think I got part of a dumped collection they wasn't interested in or some sort of old tourist stash.

I get to go through their junk cup of non silver Canadian coins that they take back to Canada to be spent on trips at face. I get to buy whatever in the cup at half it's face value in the US or I can trade 1:1 for large denominational coins for their cents and nickels with quarters etc that I happen to find on magnets etc.

I looked today and it was full of cents and nickels, quickly looking it over I saw one dating 1920 so I aggreed to buy all the nickels and cents 1:1 at about $8 in junk canadian coins I have found. Anyways I got over 18 George V cents with only one repeat year in about vf condition. I also found like a pound and a half of George IV nickels and cents.

I know they aren't worth much in worn condition but I can't beat the price 1:1 for money I find that I can't spend. Though even if I paid US .005 cent for a almost 100 year coin it would be great.

I don't really collect Canadian small cents anymore as to me I feel like I have a complete set. Here's the list with varieties that I included in my set but it is definitely not a complete list:

1920-1946 (22,23,24,25 are the keydates)
1947
1947 with maple leaf, blunt 7
1947 with maple leaf, pointed 7
1948-52
1953 Shoulder Fold
1953 No Shoulder Fold
1954-64
1965 Large Beads
1965 Small Beads
1966
1967 (commemorative)
1968-84
1985 Blunt 5
1985 Pointed 5
1986-2001
2002 Magnetic
2002 Non Magnetic
2003 Magnetic Crowned Reverse
2003 Non Magnetic Crowned Reverse
2003 Magnetic Uncrowned Reverse
2003 Non Magnetic Uncrowned Reverse
2004-07 both magnetic and non magnetic
2008 magnetic
(For 2008 non magnetic I used one from a proof set)
2009-2012 both magnetic and non magnetic (the 2010 magnetic is rare I think and might have only come in sets)

Hope this helps you out, I am curious to see what others will say.

Try the pcgs basic registery set. It is a good start, only a few had mintmarks in your date range, but those were in pl sets. Except 1968 dime that was minted in Philly.
