I am looking through the contents of a small hoard of change,
mostly cents, that a friend of the family found in her garage.
It's nothing big at all, but there are a few rolls of circulated
Canadian cents that are labeled "Canada 1920s to date". I have
yet to even open them up, because I don't really know what I
am looking at. Could I get someone to give me a short list of
"better dates" that I might look out for? Maybe the top 5 key dates?
Also, what year do 100% copper cents end?
Thanks!
Dave

To answer one of your questions, the last
copper coin was minted in 1996.
From 1997 to 2001, they were copper plated zinc.
From 2002-2012, production was split between the above & copper & nickel plated steel
which are known as "magnetic"pennies.
PS-There are no 100% Cdn copper coins.
They are all between 95.5% and 98% depending on the year.

Also to note, all KGV pennies are worth money (1920 - 36) hard to find and easy to sell.

Thanks guys!
This will help a great deal.
I'll probably go through them tomorrow.
If I find anything I'll let you know.

i hope you keep anything pre 1960, and if not interested for yourself offer them up for trade? other than the key dates you find that are worth something.
