This past weekend I won a action on ebay for a Library of Coins - Canada 1 Cents 1858 to Date album http://www.ebay.com/itm/40083904674...RK:MEBIDX:ITIt has ports up to 1963. Not sure what I got myself into. - How hard will it be to find all the coins? -- There looks to be several 1859 varieties. - What do the common Large cents sell for in Canada. -- For example 1900 through 1920. I have been buying them over the past few years, sort of curious if I have been paying to much for them. Do they have bins for Large cents in Canadian coin shops? If so, what sort of prices do they trade for? Thanks for any helpful answers you care to post. |

they do have bins full of common large cents at my lcs, vickies sell for $3 or so, a couple dollars for eddies and a dollar for George the fifth.
by the way I'mnot sure but the 1859 over 8 narrow 9 in that book is probably the 9/6 variety since I only know of genuine 9/8 cents being the wide 9 variety.
Feel free to call me Will.

I think the 9/6 statement is right from dollarman, but not 100% sure. If so, that'll be tough to get, and pricey. Other than that, shouldn't be too hard. For large cents, the 1858 and the 1891 (both small leaves) will cost you quite abit.
As for the smaller cents, I see they put 1936 dot. I've heard of dots appearing somewhere on the coin, but it isn't a recognized variety (I think). they say a mintage of 600,000. Can't possibky be the realky rare one with mintage of 3 lol.
Hope this helped a little

Up through the early 70's, the "8 over narrow 9" is a DP#1. That's what they called it then.
You can get most Vickies in decent (F-15 to VF) shape for $5 or so, more for some of the lower mintage dates and the scarcer varieties from '59 & '91. The '58 will set you back some.

Thanks for all the good information.
The thought of finding all those 59's has me somewhat worried.
And not sure what I will do with the 1936 dot port.
It should be fun sorting my rolls of large cents, and zip lock bags of small cents, trying to fill this album. ...it should be here tomorrow.

There's an absolute tonne of different varieties for 1859... But you can make up this set pretty easily... if you need any help feel free to send me a message... I have a bunch from 1910-date with the exception of a few keys...

All of which have something small that's different from the other. So that shouldn't be a problem to fill, even if not exactly the same coin as mentioned. |

And not sure what I will do with the 1936 dot port our 1929 penny is usually identified as a low 9 and a high 9 (for the last 9 in 1929). A low 9 means the bottom of the number is in line with the first 9. A high 9 means the bottom of the number is in line with the 1 and the 2. See this (scroll down to see the pics): http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...nt-1920-1936I don't have a high 9 variety, but apparently there are many different versions as well... about 3 or 4 different levels of low/high. You can try to find a high 9 and put in the 1936 dot port. Because I see they dont have a 1929 high 9 port in that booklet. |

hahah yeah.. I think there's like 8 '36 dots that had ever been made.. something crazy to those numbers...
There are '36's that have die pits.. you could find one of those.. technically it would be a '36 dot.. or as paulz suggested find another variety like the '29 and put that one in there...
