I notice at the CaC site that the magnetic cents were introduced in 2006. Were there magnetic cents in 2008? The listing doesn't show it but I'm assuming that there were. Also, I note that there appear to be four mint marks used; some coins plain, others with a P (or W) and RCM. Various combinations for a given year. The Whitman folder I bought doesn't account for all the configurations for a given year. Usually only plain for P variants, but not RCM or magnetic vs. non-magnetic. So not much of a clue there. Any help understanding this is appreciated. |

Thanks for reminding me. Spec's! Oddly enough, the source of some of my confusion had a clue. The fold on the Whitman notes that in 2006 the P (designated for copper plated steel cents) was dropped and the RCM logo used in its place going forward. So the magnetic 2008 RCM cent is correct. Interestingly, the folder calls for a 2008 plain and a 2008P. Since the P was dropped a year and a half earlier, the folder should have been updated to reflect. We shouldn't be able to find the 2008P cents. If so, I'd imagine a pretty penny would be offered. Thanks for the assist pennyman! |

Rackster, all 2008 cents were magnetic (steel) with the RCM logo. The P version of CND cents ended in 2006. There shouldn't be any 2008P cents that I know of. |

C&C is good site I like the fact you can just click on any year and see all the other info that comes up with it. I always back check with a Charlton, or Coins of Canada book..then ebay and google and so on, glad I could be of help. |

Hi Denny - thank you for the information. I was surprised to find that answer on the leaflet page of the Whitman folder. Imagine if there was a 2008P; would be worth a few pretty pennies!
Pennyman - I do the same for US Cents I'm researching. I like it when the information is corroborated but I'm especially appreciative of the additional information some sites offer. CaC includes details for things like cracks and grease issues. For folks who find these specimens interesting its always nice to have a site where you can crossreference against.

Rackster, you're not alone with your penny confusions. I did find out recently that Whitman has printed out a new folder to replace #2480 (Small Cent #2). Unfortunately I haven't actually seen one yet but plan on buying one online soon. I don't know which coins that they made holes for and which one's they left out. All the pics I've seen online only show the cover photo; no interior. I'm hoping the new folder DOES NOT leave a hole for one or two of those rare thousand dollar pennies they minted in the last several years. It seems like every folder includes one of those hard to find and pricey varieties.  |

High atticguy - I'm keeping an eye open for the new folder with the updated information/listings. I like having holes for the varieties provided their legitimate in the sense that there are more than just a handful to be had (i.e. 1936 Dot). It's like the spot for the 1922 Plain; error/variety coin but should it be in the Dansco album? Debatable I suppose.
Thanks for the information!

I finally ordered the revised "final" Whitman Canadian cent folder last night. When it arrives I will post a scan of the interior to see what's listed.
I ordered seven folders (all Canadian) to complete my needs. Besides the 1989-2012 Small Cent folder, I also bought a Large Cent, a 2013-up nickel, a 1968-2014 fifty-cent, a 1968-1986 and 2009-up dollar, and a $2 folder. (I don't plan on focusing on any silver coins greater than the quarters.)

 Just got my new Whitman folder for the final Canadian cents today. I haven't checked it out in depth yet to see if any of the coins listed are rare or not. It only has one hole for 2006-P, so I may not have to buy the $75 non-magnetic variety.  |

I would wish you the best of luck finding a non-magnetic 2006P for $75. None have been offered for sale for quite a while....the last ones were more like 15x to 30x that price. For $75 you could pick up a nice 2006 magnetic no P no logo. Less tough to find than the 2006P non-magnetic by a long way, though still scarce. The holder has no space for that one either.

I would have to agree with Smallcentguy, I have found about ten of the 2006 no P no logo magnetic type in circulation. I have yet to find a 2006p magnetic or non-magnetic type in my circulation hunt. I probably cant afford to buy a 2006p non-magnetic.

 The 2006P Non Magnetic has a population of less then 120 while the 2005P Non magnetic now has a population of about 200 examples certified. Edited by darryldarryl
