Well I was working the close shift last night. At around 10pm I pulled the tills. As I was balancing one, I had to open up a roll of pennies. Most of them were quite new, however, around the end of the roll popped out a 1933 canadian cent..A 1933!! this will be my oldest canadian cent find in circulation! I showed it to my crew members and none of them have ever seen a King George V coin with the crown on the portrait.
I stick old, badly scratched or worn George V 1-cent and 5-cent coins in rolls all the time, and cart them off to the bank. Once a coin reaches a threshold low grade, it no longer has numismatic value. So, I would rather surprise a stranger, a kid or a coin roll hunter with a fun coin...
