Project Of 10000 Canadian Pennies

(Mr Canada)
This is the reason why the King George Cent looks nice:

Ways to clean a pennies. Do you know how to clean grease off a coin?

Just went through another 1,000 pennies and had a few good finds:

1950 George VI
1944 George VI
1943 x 2 George VI
1942 George VI
1939 George VI
1928 George V

All of them are in circulation wear and the 1944, 1943's and 1942 came out of the same roll.

The 2011 magnetic pennies are still few and far between. I had 49 2011's with 3 of them magnetic.

Looking forward to see what you are finding Petersun. I still have a box and a half of pennies to go through this weekend. I'll post any good finds.

Lesinwestvan:
George Cents! What do you think are their grades?

Well, I went to my bank again and they told me not to buy pennies from the bank, because they didn't want me to throw so many pennies into circulation, or return this much pennies to the bank, so they would have to ship them and waste money on pennies.
I'm sorry for not being able to post again, but I'll still try to find pennies.

Looking forward to see what you find!

Thanks to all for posting

The next batch I went through tonight has produced:

1946 George VI in VF
1942 George VI in VF
1971 looks as though it never hit circulation. Coin looks like a new 2011.

Hello,
I'm back to the pennies finally. Although my banks are still picky, I still convinced the tellers when the tellers from the past were off-duty today.

And now, at the phrase two of my roll hunting project, my goal is actually to also see how many 2012 cents I can get. So far I've only had 1 out of 500.
I also want to see the amout of pre-53 pennies. So far I've only come across one in 500.
What is the trend for a 1959D US cent at AU 55 Brown Red or up?
Photos later.

Quote/Question:
@petersun. Are you putting sets together from 1920 to date and pulling coppers?

---

As you may know, I am young and don't always do roll hunting for commercial reasons. Yes, I pull coins to make sets (uncirculated only, I only have a set of the 70s and 80s, all uncirculated). I seems improabable to get coins from 1920 to 1952 in just one hundred or two of rolls.

Generally, I do roll hunting for research reasons on the amount of silver/copper coins over face value in circulation ny calculating the odds as I did in my previous posts. I also relate coin roll hunting to psychology and making suggestions for myself for my future coin collecting. I also do coin roll hunting to get rid of stress or when the time simply can't be occupied.

Just as I mentionned, during every phrase of hunting, I have a special goal of calculating odds.

Yes, I do pull out copper of pre-1996 and I sort them into rolls. Where can you sell these? This is my question. Does anyone know any stores near Vancouver BC that buys scrap copper coins at a descent price?
