Keeper Canadian Coins?

That particular reverse die was used probably longer than any other involved in striking the narrow 9's. The missing exterior vines (including the leaf 2 vine) are the result of Die Deterioration rather than an unrepaired vine break. I'm glad you pointed that out Bill. That coin could easily be mistaken for a reverse group G or I because of the apparent vine break at 2, but actually it is just a well worn Reverse group E die.

Oh what fun the 59's can be!

dsking, it is a narrow 9, not a wide 9. That particular die pair is a tricky one to ID, because of the die wear. So I will tell you the reverses die is E10.

It is a normal coinage bronze cent, just like the 9.5 million plus others.

Yes, it's normal bronze, .95 CU, .04 Sn, .01 Zn. They were struck in London on the same presses and set-up as the Brit half pennies. But Canada wanted the planchets to be 1/3 thinner than the Brit half penny, so that 100 of them weighed exactly 1 pound and that 12 of them strung out to 1 foot .... they could be used as a type of "measure" for commerce. There were millions made and they are very inexpensive, except for some scarce varieties. Yours is worth $7-8 Canadian, but you wouldn't get that to sell it, unless it's a scarcer Haxby marriage.
