Do a quick search on ebay, chances re you'll find several for sale in mint state condition, for only a few bucks.

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 3:58 pm '79s are notorious for that. I remember a number of years ago a dealer would send a free MS one with a little write-up about them and put at the end, 'value is one cent' or something to that effect. I think they are still neat finds though. Report this Post to the Staff

SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 10/19/2011 9:51 pm The only coin that is hard to find from that year is the ENTIRE date doubled (doubled 1979), probably the last coins struck by those rapidly deteriorating dies. I have only ever found three in 7 years of roll searching.
