I went to my local Credit Union for five rolls of pennies to search..and low and behold, every roll appears to be pure Canadian pennies.

Found a 1942 King George but the rest seem to be turned in from a Canadian. I am torn on bringing them back or keeping them. There are so many others that are in pretty decent shape.

Canadian cents are no longer made...you could probably make a little profit selling them on ebay. |

After seeing one bright and shiny from 1983, I decided to hold on to them. After searching all five rolls, they appeared to be in higher grade than what is found here in circulation overall. There were 7 King George pennies. All five rolls were pure copper (1985 and earlier). I think I tapped into someone getting rid of their Canadian copper.

I don't believe they knowingly sold those Canadian coins to you. I would recommend keeping or spending somewhere. Based on my experience, my banks and CU's will not accept Canadian coin, and wow do they throw a fit if you try to pass them off!

Hahaha, I brought in $20 dollars in American nickels for 2 rolls of halves and the young lass working the bank counter needed to see my passport and then ran a giant magnet wand over my rolls!

SO actually 1996 and earlier cents are copper. also you should check this site because there are some pennies worth some high dollars. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.phpSpecifically look for the 1985 pointed 5, 62-65 variations. The KG coins are a good score, and I would recommend keeping them for sure. |
