Well my E-Bay purchase finally showed up. Item # 370577214961Titled as: Lot of 28 CANADA ONE CENT COINS from 1928 to 1975but even though the pictures were junk and the title vague there was a nice little tidbit mentioned in the description. Lot contain a 1928, 1929, 2 - 1940, 1941, 2 - 1942, 1943, 2 - 1946, 2 - 1947 (one with Maple Lweaf after 7 and the other with nothing after 7) 1949, 1952, 1966, 1968, 1972, 3 - 1973, 1974, 3 - 1975 (one 1975 has blank back) and 1978well here's the pics of that 1975 blank back.   To me it looks like it spent time on a belt sander as it is a little thinner and lighter than a normal penny.  so how much is it worth my guess is about .75 cents. However is this is something better please let me know. |

So if 3/4 a cent is worth 1 cent, I should file down 1/2 of a several hundred million pennies sell the shaveings for scrap and trade in the reduced pennies for new ones. Wow I just made my retirment plans.

If that is your retirement plan you might want to consider quarters instead!

It baffles me why someone would take the time to do that. Same thing goes for coin necklaces,etc...never saw the purpose.

I remember back in the days of shop class that coins met every type of tool and machine in a school from the hydraulic press to the sanders and saws. I'm guessing that this one met with such a fate.

 hey thats an idea to double your $... just cut all coins down middle and you have a heads side & tails side then spend the same coin twice; I bet many stores would take them  Edited by Penny4Me

If you want to make even more attach two head sides and use it as a flip coin at the bar on slightly tippy "friends" a buddy of my Father used to have one back in the 80's. This way you only have to do the work once but drink for near free afterwards. Once in a while you need to use a regular coin so your only lucky and its not overly obvious.

QUESTION TO ALL...So what is the value of a REAL BLANK CANADA ONE CENT COIN?
A real blank that never got stamped at mint?
is there a value change, if it is older 98% copper vs Zinc coated copper vs steel coated copper blank?

One of the strange ones I have is a 1939S Wheat cent with the reverse completely shaved away. Why someone took the time to do that is beyond me, but it's a great conversation piece! Penny4Me, I've seen only copper blanks, nothing modern. Some have sold for around $10 but perhaps someone would pay a little more for a blank in excellent condition. |

Which is exactly why the law forbids mutilation of coin with intent to defraud. In the old days, they used to "sweat" gold pieces by shaking a bunch in a bag all day. |

A long time ago (back in Newton's time) so many English silver coins were clipped it nearly devalued the currency. Which is an idea with the silver 20 for 20 coins. LOL
