Canadian Roll Hunting

I use USPS for shipments to the US, there is a service here in Toronto that gets your package to Niagara Falls the next day for a fee of 25 cents. By the amount you're saving, it's worth it. Before they suspended me on ebay because they found out my age, I used to ship with Canada Post, but get 50% off. If you've ever bought from asyn before on ebay (He sells coins with free shipping very cheap near silver spot price on ebay but the grades are very low), he use many stamps. That's what I do. I buy newer worthless stamps from collectors who don't collect anymore or Americans who can't use them for a fraction of the face value, then I use that to mail the items. Simple way to save 50% on postage.

Searched through 5 rolls. 1 & 1/2 roll of Young Queens, 1/2 roll of George VI, and 2 rolls full of copper. 1 roll of skunkers. My luck is drying up.

Don't do dimes in small quantities. Buy a $250 box, and use a large magnet. Nickels I seem to be getting 5 american and 5 pre 82 a roll

Hi folks - as you know, our coinage gets integrated and I thought I'd share some of this week's finds. I picked up someone's copper hoard the other day and there were several copper Canada Cents in the mix. Perhaps around 50 or so. Here is a sample -



Over the years, I've kept most the Canadian coins I've found; thought I might put together a collection of them. Oldest to date is a 1921 roll find some years ago. The coin is in excellent shape as I recall. I've also accumulated a bunch of nickels, quarters and dimes. I should probably put a collage together and post.

I was off by a year, but this I suppose is my best Canadian coin CRH find -

You may find an older U.S coin but 1920 is likely the oldest Canadian cent you will find.

Searched a box today with older Canadian finds being: 1940(2), 1942, 1944, 1947, 1951, 1952, 1956, 1957, 1958 and 1959. Also found 4 wheat cents, 2 Two Euro Cents, and an interesting 1994 D LMC which I posted in the Lincoln Cent thread.

1920 is the oldest Small Cent you can find in circulation for Canadian cents. Anything older would be a Large cent. Finding a 1920's is always a thrill. They have become far and very few between. Good luck with the finds and have fun.

If someone did manage to stuff a 1-inch coin down a penny roll, I won't know whether to laugh or cry.
