basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 08/30/2012 3:12 pm Quote: 1974-D, what does the D mean?) And also the penny goes back before 1920... For american coins the letter is the mint that produced it. D = Denver P = Philly S = San Francisco W = West Point 0 = New Orleans (but thats only for older coins that mint is no longer open) CC = Carson City (also no longer open) And yes the penny did start before 1920. Not sure of the exact year but there is more than a decade of pre 1920 pennies for US coins anyway not sure about the Canadian Penny Report this Post to the Staff
Windchild Pillar of the Community Canada 1411 Posts	Posted 08/30/2012 3:36 pm As I consider the penny to be the small cent, in Canada the penny was first produced in 1920. The US penny was first produced in 1867. Canadian Penny: 1920 - 2012 Canadian Large Cent: 1867 - 1920 US Penny: 1867 - Current US Large Cent: 1793 - 1867 Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36745 Posts	Posted 08/30/2012 8:52 pm Shermy have you given any thoughts to doing a Canadian type set? One coin type of each issued. With the amount of different coins the Canadian Mint has issued, you should be on the hunt for a long time. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/30/2012 9:47 pm Quote: I know that the Red Book series has books about collecting Canadian & US type coins. I would recommend buying these and reading them. Knowledge is key when buying coins. Sort of missed with all the suggestions. Here is an idea similar to the above. Go to the Whitman web site and request a catalog. They will send you a 90+ page catalog free and full of a list of coin books, coin items, Albums, Folders, etc. Not sure but you could look for Canadian stuff too. Report this Post to the Staff
