Is this what I think it is? Could it really be? Looks like it to me. Could use a variety confirmation and a grade opinion please. Link to site with Variety Picture http://coinsandcanada.com/coins-pri...nt-1937-1952   2nd A In Gratia looks lined up with denticle to me. What do you think? All opinions welcome. Thanks again...Mont. |

Thank you!!   No I bought a bulk lot of Canadian Pennies and Nickels. Some came in books some came in a plastic bag. This was the only 1949 in the bag. Total Luck! As for the Verdi-care...I don't have any. Would acetone do any good? Any Idea on grade? Edited by MontCollector

Thanks again Guys!! Am so happy to find this one.
Will have to get some Verdi-Care. Until then in a 2x2 it goes.
Is this a transitional year for the Canadian Cents? Kind of like the US 1992 CAMS? Just trying to figure out how this variety happened.

Actually 1948 was the transitional year when there were
three different matrices produced for the new Obverse.
In 1949 the mint carried two of these over to produce cents.
An added sidenote, the A to denticle has 129 denticles
and the A between has 128 denticles.

In reality A to Denticles or A Off Denticles is not really a proper description of these coins. Like the coinage of 1951 -52 and again in 1953 a better term is high Relief versus Low Relief.

Thanks for the info. So this would be the Obverse they chose not to carry over in 1949 and somehow got used anyways?
Another question. How do you tell the difference in this ones older brother...the 1948. I get the A to and A off denticle part. What does an A to Small Denticle look like? Coins and Canada doesn't have a picture of this one.

Here is a picture of a 1948 "A to small denticle" Note the denticles are shorter and spread farther apart.  |

Thank you JimmyD. Now I see the difference...will have to take a look again at my '48s Quote:

This explains what to look for. I post links to help members learn as I do. That way maybe it will help them discover something they didn't know they had. I also found this Article about this variety. Goes a little more in depth. Check it out http://koinpro.tripod.com/Articles/...arieties.htmEdited by MontCollector
