I have a couple of large cents. Are they worth posting or rather common?
1. 1876 Queen Victoria
2. 1919 King Georgivs V

Thanks. Wonder why they call Canadian coins a gray area?

These coins are easy to obtain in low grades.

I wondered about that "gray area" thing too. My best guess was that they aren't US coins, yet common enough in the US (and similar enough to US coins in terms of size and denomination)to deserve their own category rather than being lost in the vast and varied World Coins category. Can anyone confirm? Or deny?

I guess in a technical dictionary definition sense, US coins would also be considered world coins.

I look at it this way: They list Mexico, and it's coinage. Mexico is oour neighbor to the South. Canada has the same relative position as Mexico. We receive a lot of Mexican coinage in our rolls, so, Why a "gray area" for Canadian coinage? Just MHO.

Try spending Mexican money in the US or Canada. The US and Canada have the same denomination of coins and are relatively the same size. While some Americans will not take Canadian money, in general both currencies are are interchangeable between the two countries. There are many times when I get back more US coins in change than I do Canadian.

I just emptied the change tray in my car and out of the $2.25 there 50 cents of it was US.

I think it may depend on how close you live to the boarder. I live in Toronto Canada and once moved to Texas. You sure don,t see Canadian money there and the bank said it would take 3 weeks to change my Canadian money to U.S currency. Of course that was 20 years ago, maybe it,s easier now. I do get alot of U.S. change here. And I love it. I collect all U.S. coinage I get. I even get some of the State Quarters but most I have to buy from a coin shop at $1. each. A gray area to me means the unknown LOL.

I have coin manage software and it lists the values as follows. In 2005 the 1876 large cent in xf40 $9.75 and in 2007 xf40 was $23.00 that a big jump. And in vf20 2005 was $5.20 and in 2007 was $13.00. The 1919 xf40 in 2005 was $2.60 and in 2007 $3.00 in vf20 in 2005 was .85 cents and jumped to $2.00 in 2007. I collect both. I understand the values in my software to be what a coin dealer would pay for the coins. I, ve read there is alot of errors in the large cents which would be interesting to investagate. I believe there is 4 different faces on these coins. Maybe someone could elaborate on that.
