TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 823 Posts	Posted 08/15/2022 01:50 am I've been going through my hoard of cents to thin it out and arrange what's left. I found a bunch of colourful small cents and started to make a collection from 1937 up. When I got to 1953, I found this guy. I don't know where it came from and don't remember buying it (I marked everything I bought on ebay over $5). It looks like it was in a coin book (Whitman's ?) for a long time. The reverse looks almost black when seen head-on. The obverse has a reddish centre and is greenish around the rim. For another coin I posted, SPP told me of flat-field doubling, and I'd like to verify if this one is also. Edited by TerryT 08/15/2022 01:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
