Canada 2000-P Coins - Help My Spreadsheet

I'm not sure where your 50 cent number comes from but
according to Charlton the number of the 50 Cent is believed to be fewer than 276.

tomothay, they usually go well over 2000

Thanks Tim!

Sure, but CCF doesn't allow file attachments to posts (apart from images). Here's a screenshot of my file -- as you can see, it's probably not unlike what many of you already have.



Anyone who wants my a copy of this sheet (in progress) can send me a PM and I'll do my best to get back to everyone. Please reply with your suggested changes, if any. In particular, the 1 cent is quite complete (perhaps overly complete), but the higher denominations could use some tweaking.

Let's for now avoid turning it into a "price guide" -- but I am certain this project can be improved with your help. Maybe one day, we can lobby for a listing of a stable version on CCF, like the U.S. lists.

Further to this, it seems we have several posts which ask about Canadian cent (and higher denomination) varieties.

With 5 minutes of sorting and copying/pasting, I've outputted below what my sheet lists for all Canadian 1 cent varieties. This includes dates with both mintmarks and without, different compositions, known die varieties, and even some of the frequently collected Die Deterioration pieces.

mcshilling: Thanks for your interest in the list, and welcome!

I use 'L' for the new Royal Canadian Mint logo in 2006, when there was a transition to this new logo. Various references and now collectors have started adopting this 'L' notation. I personally find it can be confusing too -- so I agree with you there.

PL just means prooflike.

a few non varietal rarities...

There are standard low mintage years/key dates of pennies such as small pennies (1922-26, 1930-31), with the 1925 being the rarest, although 1923 dated coins are the most valuable.

nickels 1925-1926 with 1925 taking the cake though there is a rare 1926 variety,The 1921 50¢ is also an extremely rare coin...

1948 50c and dollar...

there are more keydates pre - 1920 of course

Also, FYI, the "P" is not a mintmark but a composition mark. The "L" is sometimes substituted by an "M", but they refer to the same thing, that is, the logo for the Canadian mint (which I learned is the only mint to have its logo on a coin of any country... is this true?).
