Seth Gold New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 12:03 pm Hi, I have a Canadian 1 cent from 1945. The 5 in the date is there but not raised up at all and is very faint. Any ideas anything about it? Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 01/08/2017 5:58 pm Nice find, Seth! In my experience you see a faint final digit on the 1943's and 1945's often enough, but you can find them on the '38's and '39's as well. Other years have them but not so common. Also check for missing details around the rim on the reverse, those ones are usually paired with missing details on the obverse as well. Good eye for finding that one! Report this Post to the Staff
