I was going through a bunch of old pennies I have and I came across this 1971 Canadian penny that looks quite different from other 1971 pennies. The whole design is thicker than normal (letters, numbers, leaves). Sorry, I don't know the proper terminology. Also, there is no beading around the edges. I've attached some pictures that hopefully show what I mean. Any info on the value of this coin would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Report this Post to the Staff
