Hi, I am Graval; first time poster, long time lurker. Though I haunt another site, I got the information on the subject from CCF thus I think it is worth at least a post from me. Attendance was light at the Boucherville's (south shore of Montréal) coin show which meant I could peruse Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) sets without irking too much the dealers. While dealers do not mind you searching binders with a magnet, some are not amused by the heavy handling of BU sets caused by a magnet search.
I find it proper to ask for permission rather than to annoy a dealer. There not that many dealers around Montréal and it save time. A lot of dealers are aware of the 2005 P and no P varieties but only a few have heard about the 2003P. My search was pretty much pointless until I saw a new dealer at the show. While chatting with him, he mentioned that he was not aware of the 2005P and 2003P non-magnetic varieties.
However he let me test his only two 2003P BU sets. As expected the 1¢, from the first set, snapped eagerly onto my magnet. As I was mentioning the realised auction price of subject at the TCNC, the 1¢, from the second set, failed to eagerly snap onto my magnet. After a long moment of disbelief, thinking to myself that I should have kept my @#$%& mouth shut and checking thrice my notes; I muttered that I would like to purchase both sets. Surprisingly, he sold me both sets at Trends value ($25 each). This was very gracious of him considering he was losing an opportunity for a very nice windfall.
There are still variety sets out there but you have to really look hard for them. Once home, I learned that BU sets do have certificate numbers (I know: d'oh! I don't purchase sets)! Interestingly the magnetic set is number 068870 while the non-magnetic set is 068871.

As a "newbie", I just would like to say that this is the best site because of the people with knowledge who are willing to share! I can't wait each morning to read the new posts/responses...like Christmas everyday.

Definitely worth a first post! Will you take $100 each set?  |

Coinsarecool: good point if one does not have the Charlton Vol 2 to check this information.
Zonad: it might take a while before I take your offer. I really want to know if the 2003P non-mag will match the 2005P non-mag madness.

I think only one has sold so far. It sold after the $20,000 2005P sales and also after the 2005Ps started to come out of the woodwork. So it went for around $2000 in a pretty quiet auction.
As far as I know yours is the second. People will be nervous after the 2005P action so it may take a while for the price to settle. But I think $2000 to $4000 is realistic, at least for now.

Hi, I am just reading this thred. 2005p & 2003p, both non-mag? This spring one 2005p sold for $19,000 and change, the second sold for $20,308. Am I understanding that since that auction, 2005p's (non-mag) have been coming out as did the 2006. How many 2003p's (non-mag) been found or should say, been reported, anybody know?

@ Smallcentguy...Do you have the most recent Pop Reports on the 2005P and 2006P Non Magnetics?
I haven't seen any of the 2006's at any of the auctions unlike the 2005P non magnetic.

I didn't buy the ICCS report this year. Sorry. There hasn't been a 2006P non-mag in a major auction in quite a few years, if ever, as far as I know. One was offered on ebay about 6 months ago....did not sell....never relisted. Maybe it was sold privately. There is I think a 2006P non-may NBU for sale now on ebay at a stupid price. |

I understand about the 2006, I have never known then to hit the auction but the did expereince a value hit when a few more showed up. I'm not sure what the Pop Reprot is it the ICCS Report?.My question is really about the 2003. I would like to know if many have shown up, and if there is any info on them at all.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi Gravel, what ever come of your 2003 P 1 cent. I have been waiting for several years regarding the coin for info but nothing really ever come out. Did you ever sell it or find out the rarity. Thanks.

I highly doubt he follows a 5 year old thread...

Greetings Goodfind; I still have the BU set in my safe and not I am not in a hurry to sell. The Trends section of the Canadian Coin News has an entry for this variety/error under "Modern small cent". A graded MS-65 NBU is priced at $2 000. Since I do not purchase population reports from TPPG, I do not have more information on the scarcity of this coin. Quite happy to drool over the protective cover the set is stored under. Graval
