darcyrmt Valued Member Canada 202 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 1:13 pm I'm hunting through about 5000 pennies a month but haven't come across these yet.. 2005P steel which is surprising considering they had general distribution.. 2010 RCM steel - now I know this one is listed in Charlton as N.I.I., so I shouldn't expect it in "the wild", but the 2011 RCM steel is listed the same way, yet I've found more than a few of those.. Did I misread the guide? Still no 2006P steel or the two reversed planchet varieties for 2006, but that's not surprising.. Report this Post to the Staff

LaureateBust Valued Member Canada 331 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 3:24 pm Yup, 2005P steel, or CPS, is magnetic, and reasonably common. 2011 CPS pennies were listed as N.I.I. in the 2012 Charlton (should have been N/A), but in the new 2013 guide they have a mintage figure. The 2010 CPS wasn't struck for circulation at all, only sets, so you won't likely find any in circulation. The 2006P magnetic is definitely possible to find even with a low mintage of 233,000.

bpoc1 Rest in Peace United States 4078 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 4:34 pm Thanks people for the information. Living in MI we see a lot of Canadian cents so I do collect them. Have some of the current years empty and wondered why. We go down to Port Huron shopping and see more Canadian license plates than US. Happy Shoppers luv it Report this Post to the Staff
Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 7:00 pm I have found a few 2005p magnetic, and 1 2006p magnetic. I have not found the rarer 2006 yet. Report this Post to the Staff
bibd Pillar of the Community Canada 838 Posts	Posted 09/27/2012 11:45 pm Actually, I have found zero 2006P, but two 2006 No P No Logo Magnetic! There are no 2010 magnetic circulating, except for possible errors or those broken out of sets. Ditto for 2008 non-magnetic. Report this Post to the Staff
darcyrmt Valued Member Canada 202 Posts	Posted 10/05/2012 03:34 am I know the mintage for the 2007 RCM zinc (non magnetic) is low as well but didn't think it would be this hard to find - after realizing I was missing this one I went through my 5 boxes of sorted non magnetic zinc pennies (12,500 coins) waiting to go back to the bank, found only one coin in the whole batch.. Not a good one at that, so the treasure hunt continues! As for my original OP, I took the 2010 RCM steel magnetic off the "in circulation" list, and to Bm0ney - wish I had your luck for the 2005P steel, still no luck. Report this Post to the Staff
