Modern Canadian Cents

I was also wondering how to take coins out of plactic rolls.... go news is you have 50 rolls to find out :)

I have to say, CRH'ing I have come across lots of 2011 pennies. For the most part, they have all been that "artificial" looking copper colour. But yesterday I ran into a whole roll if them interspersed into other rolls, and I have to say these looked like Proof-finishes. All had cameos and the field was super, super mirrored. Actually hurt to look at through my loupe when they reflected through. I picked them all out and am stashing them for my Daughter who was born 2/20/11.

I have been disappointed with the last 12 years of pennies, as they no longer have the feel of our older penny issues. Bad portraits (as mentioned somewhere else by Ugly I think) and fact is, when you open a roll most of the darkest, most blemished coins are in fact 1999-2011 coins.

Sorry about ranting, just had to speak my peace I guess.

A suggestion about opening the wrappers btw: take a blow drier and heat the plastic so it stretches easily. Should'nt get hot enough to damage the coins..

Cut the rapper with scissors, just the lose part, then grab the 2 pieces and pull apart.
