was looking through another post "Canadian Coins That Are Overrated? And Overpriced?"
and thought lets go the other way.
for me I think the 1946 newfoundland 5 cent because just over 2000 minted I plan on getting one someday,
any others come to mind?

How is this underrated and undervalued? There were 20,000 1999P test token sets minted. It's my opinion. I think that it's reasonable cost and it's underrated, try to find a US coin with 20000 examples, they get stoopid priced like the 2019 S ERP |

Sorry, Newfoundland 1945, narrow date, 5 cent. Estimated that a little more than a 1,000 were minted. Readily observable without magnification.

The market is what it is.
For me, I am a fan of all pre 1967 Canadian coins in nice condition, if the price is right.

1921 50 cents.
The "King" of Canadian coins.
Underappreciated and undervalued IMO.

I agree with the 1858 20c. So many of them were melted and re-minted into 25c. And it is a type coin that just about every collector would want.
Hard to find high grade original skin examples.

Look no further than the 11 dollar, like 400000 over rated

my answer to under-rated is of course... colonial tokens.
- extreme wide variety of designs, influenced from many nations
- low mintages (comparable, if not less than, NFLD coins)
- most 175-200 years old and the coins that built our country
- inexpensive to acquire in circulated grades
