artidio, that's a generous offer. That would be really cool, but I would have to give you something! At least pitch in on postage! As far as what I have so far, not much. Like I said, I've only been collecting about 8 months and I only find a Canadian cent about once every 40 - 50 rolls, I'm guessing. I have several from the 60's, a few from the 70's, a couple of nice '99's and the one I posted above. I figure if they're going to keep showing up in rolls, and they are an attractive coin, so I might as well know what it is I'm collecting!
I also found a 1998 dime! In a roll of cents! Go figure. (Uh, I'm assuming they're called dimes in Canada, doh!)
1cent, thanks for the pics. I thought I had a couple '65's, but I guess I only have one. The 5 doesn't look as sharply angled as yours, so I'm assuming I have the non-pointed version. Is there a difference in beads on the non-pointed variety?
bibd, got the spreadsheets! I'll look them over and see what we can do for some of the automation you mentioned. Great job on the cherrypicked 70-S small date! I might be able to help you out with some of your uprgades. Check your e-mail.

Yes. Blunt 5 has SB and LB as well. There were two obverse types and two reverse types, and all possible pairings of the dies did happen.

scooby, I also live in FL, but even farther to south FL. when I roll search, I keep every Canadian cent I get, no matter what, and once I finish roll searching, they go straight into flips and into my world coin assortment

artdio, that is so kind! You must let me help with postage or something. Is there any US coins that you would like to have? If you don't name something, I might have to surprise you. You're not getting away with this for free (to me)! lafaa, I still have your address. If there are any duplicates, I will send them to you! |

Scooby, do me a favour, once you get your donations from everybody else. PM me with what you still need, and Ill search my containers(common stuff tho I think you'll probably already have them nailed down), and coin tubes (which have all my pre 1968 to 1920), and send them to you as well.
The older ones have no corrosion but are somewhat worn, as such I'd much rather give them away to a collector who would appreciate them more, then get pratically nothing for them anywhere else.

 I just re-read this thread...sorry Gebs, same offer applies to you as well, if you collect cents. Come on my fellow Canadians,,,Gebs is a 13 year old kid from The Netherlands..WE NEED MORE YOUNG COLLECTORS! Besides, didn't Canada help liberate Holland on 2 occasions? Edited by Dollar1948

Iafaa123...sorry not to leave you out, but I originally thought I read that you do well with collecting this stuff, being in Florida and everything.
if not, would you like me to hunt around as well and send you some of the ones you need?

Hi scooby! I see you are doing okay, way down there in Flairida. Now I wonder if the same thing could be done , alwhole lot farther away, and even less Canadian coins? I have a bunch of canadian coins cent, nickel, dime, and quarter, which came from roll searchinf, before I became a 'variety cent collector, (US), due to being on a fixed income, I had to eliminate all but the cents. I have all but the 1909-S VDB, and no hope of ever getting it, so I am abandonong them as well. All I am interested in is the large, and small Can. cents I have quita a few, anfd got quite a few just recently, but they are all late dates. I need rfour 1923, and three 1922, plus one 1926, to complete my folders. I need a lot of the "Vickys", as I am just starting in them, and was very fortunate in that a fellow collector, sent me quite a few. I want to try and locate as many of the varieties as possible, (before I run out of time). I am an 85 year-old kid. I can pay for most of what I am able to locate, but I will accept "freebies".
I meant to add, that it is very costly to send tstuff in Canada, and it is very slow! Ask Topher! We tried to swap some US, and Canadian cent rolls, anf it cost more to send them, that the cost od a box of cents! About two, to three weeks to have all said and done. Unless you have easy access to the US/Canadian border, and can come, and go easily It can vbe very expensive. Otherwise. you can cross over, and send things in a flat-rate box, and it is very secure, and takes only a few days, deopending on the two points involved.
Scooby, if you M me on Chucks forum, I can maybe help you out with soma coins, as well as info. Okay?
Dick

The images of the coins in the bags would help a lot if they also showed the reverse of the coin, to shoe the date,mabd the characteristice of the five's involved.
