suvoth Valued Member Canada 83 Posts	Posted 07/31/2006 9:50 pm I found this website: http://www.pcfleet.com/Coinclub/Can..._1cent_1.htm and it listed a lot of coins and said that some of them were different in multiple classes and were worth more. Now, it didn't go into detail what those differences were. I was wondering if someone can tell me if I have any of the desirable ones? :) Now, some of the backs look yucky, but they're really not (not sure why it looks bluish) Thanks all! I appreciate any and all help :D Edited by suvoth 07/31/2006 9:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 08/01/2006 1:52 pm I don't know much about Canadian coins, but the SCWC lists "with strap" and "without strap" varieties for your '54 (proof-like only) and '55 pennies (the variety without the strap being worth more). There are a few are good pictures for comparison in the Heritage Auction archives. The '53 nickel has four varieties that were discussed in a past link: https://goccf.com/t/6555 The greenish/blue color on the reverse of the pennies is likely due to oxidation. Similarly, the nickel looks to have some it's steel core exposed and is rusting. Edited by snowman 08/01/2006 2:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

suvoth Valued Member Canada 83 Posts	Posted 08/01/2006 2:30 pm Oh, in reference to the oxidation thing, it's actually from the sleeves the coins are in, I just give them a little rub, and they look beautiful :) The nickel, yeah, it has these black gunky dots on it that I'm sure I can remove, but am unsure if I should Report this Post to the Staff
snowman Pillar of the Community United States 1840 Posts	Posted 08/01/2006 5:01 pm I hope these links work. No strap near maple leaf: http://coins.heritageauctions.com/c...nSearch=true With strap far maple leaf: http://coins.heritageauctions.com/c...nSearch=true The strap thing holds true with the pennies too. I honestly don't get the leaf thing. Edited by snowman 08/01/2006 7:16 pm Report this Post to the Staff
suvoth Valued Member Canada 83 Posts	Posted 08/01/2006 5:18 pm Hmm both links take me to the same spot I think. But, I think I can distinguish the two now :) Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff
