Hey everyone. I work in food service ( in Naples, Maine) so when I get tips, I'm bound to find some Canadian coins. I always find a 1979 Canadian penny....at least once a week. But I got this the other day and just thought, huh...that's kinda neat. Any thoughts on if it's worth more than face value?

That's a fantastic guide. Especially the way they lay out the grading details. Where would I find something like this for US coinage?

I especially like the pictures of the coins in the grading section.I use that a lot to figure out the condition of my coins.

Pics (and/or my aged eyes) are a bit blurry so I'll say F12-VF20. Nothing that will make you rich but good value for a penny!
Rest in Peace

Definitely worth more than face value, even if not by much. I'd keep it in a collection, it's only worth maybe $1.25 anyways
