In my change today I received the following coin. I'm looking to find out more about it, does it have any value and if so how much? Any thoughts on grade and such. Thought it was really neat to find this in my change. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff

n9jig Pillar of the Community United States 998 Posts	Posted 06/17/2013 11:00 pm Older Canadian cents are actually easier to find in the US than newer ones. Many US counting machines flag out newer Canadian steel coins but pass the older copper ones, since they are so similar (to a machine that is) to US coins from pre-82 and that are still commonplace here. Of the last dozen Canadian cents I found in the US, 3 were with King George and all but 1 of the remainder were copper Lizzies. Report this Post to the Staff

RoyalSilver Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 06/17/2013 11:47 pm nice find. Face value worth...but the canadian pennies are becoming extinct in change, great catch! We roll hunters will have to hop over the border and look through US penny rolls for the last of the circulating canadians soon :P Report this Post to the Staff
lyradnoj Pillar of the Community Canada 548 Posts	Posted 06/18/2013 12:46 am Ah yes, it seems like it was just yesterday when you could come home and go through your pocket change in hopes of finding some nice rare penny. I miss those days... Report this Post to the Staff
