dmilkman207 New Member United States 15 Posts	Posted 10/20/2012 6:39 pm Hello I am new at this and have no knowledge of coin collecting. I have had these Canadian cents for a long time and never really looked into them. I have scanned E-Bay and other sites can find no mention of silver colored 1 cent coins. Does anyone have any info of this. the coin is shiny silver, the others are shiny copper colored. The silver one is 1904.

It was the same or almost same size as a quarter and if they did not pay attention the got dupped...remember back then a quarter could buy a weeks groceries... Report this Post to the Staff

So silver colored one cent pieces were not made. This coin looks real but I am no expert. I will try to get a picture of it up. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Granted - things were a lot cheaper in 1904 but I don't think you could buy a week's worth of groceries for a quarter! Report this Post to the Staff
