WooHoo 2 more coins out for Delivery. This should be the end of small cents (unless I can find 1936 Dot Cent)   |

In a surprise (50% of the time, I get a package out for delivery and it doesn't get delivered that day), I got the 2 coins I accidentally ordered on the days the USPS said. First off is a Cameo proof from 1966. For all the sets I own, my latest goal is to get a GEM/MS copy of each coin. Since I had the Small Cents I wanted one of the small cents. This was the one I actually wanted, but wasn't expecting to get at the price I wanted.   Edited by hfjacinto

Unless I can find a pre1930 in MS for a low price, this set is done. Thanks for following my story and collection.   |

Congratulations on completing your Canada Small Cents collection. Mine looks quite a bit like yours, only difference is, I spent a lifetime on it. Very few of my pre 1960 coins are mint. I started at about age twelve with pennies and nickels to get a badge for Scouting in the 1960s. I turned sixty the year after the last one cent rolled off the presses. Since the 1960s I have collected other denominations over the years but there is still a soft spot in my heart for the small cents. Like you, I recently (this month), added a slabbed coin to my collection. It is a 1920 MS64 RB, PCGS graded coin that I bid for on ebay. I'd post a picture but I don't want to steal your thunder. Like your sentiments, it seems extravagant, as it cost me more than any other coin I purchased for my cents collection. I am glad I got it as it sums up what Canadian Small Cents means to me. |

@punman, Please post! I enjoy looking at coins as much as I enjoy collecting them! I was "bullied" into doing this set by my northern colleagues, I will gladly "bully" others into completing a set! And thank you for your story. It sounds like mine with my Whitman Lincoln Cent folders, while I have nicer coins I started those sets with I was 7, I can't seem to part with them! |

The finger print on the front detracts a little but the reverse is very nice!

I enjoyed reading through the pages of your link to the Large Cents. Now that you have completed both, do you prefer the large or small cents?

I like the large cents because of size and also the history of the Maritime provinces.
