Newmismatist Valued Member United States 197 Posts	Posted 09/22/2013 07:51 am I search a fair amount of U.S. cents and usually come across three or four Canadian cents per batch of 500 cents I look through. I always set the Canadian cents aside. (I was about to say I don't collect Canadian cents, but if I set them aside, I guess I collect them, right? LOL) Anyway, I was wondering how best to get these cents into the hands of those most interested in them. Would it be worthwhile to bring a couple hundred Canadian cents to a Canadian dealer I might encounter at a coin show here in the U.S.? Or would that seem trivial and silly? I guess what I'm asking is how great is the demand for cents in Canada now that they are officially out of circulation. I'd like to help out anyone who wants them but can no longer find them in circulation. Report this Post to the Staff

I think your best bet is to trade or sell them at a local club to a member(s) that collects Canadian coins. You would be surprised how many Americans have a side collection of Canadian coins. Also there many individuals that would be interested in the pre-1996 coins for their copper content. These are worth 2 to 3 cents per penny.

I can sort bulk amounts fairly quickly - if the Queen has that Machin bust or older (1965-1989), it's copper. If it's not the Machin bust, but it has 12 sides, it's copper. You can tell at a glance with practice. Report this Post to the Staff
