I was wondering if anybody here has a current price guide for Canadian small cents.....I traded some U.S. coins for these and I was wondering how well I did. I don't have a grading guide for these so I will list them with the grades written on the flips: 1921-VF20 1922-VF20 1923-VG 1924-VF20 1925-EF40 1926-F12 1931-EF40 1934-EF40 1949-VF20 I'd appreciate any help I can get  --moved to Canadian coin forum--mod--Edited by bmanofnbc

With the 22, 23, 24, 25, and 26 in the lot, I think you did pretty well. Those are some of the key dates in the small cent series. For Canadian, I go to the website http://www.coinsandcanada.com It's a pretty nice site for all Canadian, not just the small cents. He tends to list the varieties too. :) Hope it helps! |

Thanks Ellekitty! I've never seen that site. If those prices are even close to actual sale prices I'd say I did very well....I traded about $60 worth of U.S. coins for all of them.  |

Hmm...how did I miss this post?  Well, here's my opinion from buying a lot of these coins (and referring to Charlton's cat): Prices are for problem-free in those grades. 1921-VF20 $3 1922-VF20 $30 1923-VG $30 (high demand) 1924-VF20 $12 1925-EF40 $55 (high demand) 1926-F12 $6 1931-EF40 $8 1934-EF40 $2 (common) 1949-VF20 either $0.25 or $30, depending on the variety. The "A to denticles" is the valuable one. I'd say you did very well!  |

hey Kurt, which A is supposed to be pointed at the denticle on the 1949? And could somebody please move this topic to the Canadian coin forum....  |

Hi Bryan, here's the diagnostic for the 1949 "A to denticles" (also called "high relief obverse") Check the alignment of the last A in GRATIA to the closest denticle. The valuable version is on the right. If in doubt, post a pic and I'll give it a crack.  |

That's what I figured....on mine the 1st A is pointing at the denticle but the 2nd A is pointing between them. Thanks for the picture! Now I will have to check the other 1949's that the other guy has to see if any are the rare variety |

Great--once you know what to look for, I think it's easy. They're worth a search, since CV is ~$50 in XF...I found a "hot spot" of 10 here in a dealer's cache. |
