Sorry guys, I'm bored and in need of making a post  A small contest to see who has the oldest Canadian or Pre-Confederation Large Cent. Pictures are required to verify. The winner will receive the satisfaction of knowing he or she is the winner, as well as the admiration and respect of their peers.  I'd offer up a real prize, but I'm way to cheap for that, Here is my submission: an 1865 Pre-Confederation Newfoundland Large Cent  Edited by markjudge

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't 1865 the first year for Pre-Confederation Newfoundland Large Cents? The best anyone can do is tie you. |

Dockwalliper: Yes, you would be correct, however the "contest" is open to Canadian as well as other pre-confederation coins, not only pre-confed Newfoundland coins... sn31, That's quite alright, since this technically isn't really a contest, please post your large cent pictures. this wasn't started to see who had the oldest, but rather as a chance for people to show off their older large cents. Cheers M |

Sorry, Scoutjim, technically those are pennies (and halfpennies), not cents - they're predecimal, on par with British pounds, shillings and pence. Flicking through the Krause, the oldest official "cent" I can spot is the Province of Canada, 1858-9 issue. If privately-issued tokens count, then the oldest Canadian cent I have is this one from Prince Edward Island:   I know, it doesn't actually say "cent", but it's listed in the 1977 Charleton as a cent, Charleton# 172a. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Since there's no actual prize for the winner, then tokens and everything else will certainly count. Nice pictures everyone!
Cheers

Mark,I have got one of these.I also have got the 1859 Canadian 1c.,an 1871 Prince Edward Island 1c.,plus the Nova Scotian & New Brunswick 1c. coins.I have most of the other dates of the Newfoundland large 1c. coins up until 1919C.I am missing a few dates such as the 1872H coinage alignment & the 1936. There was a trader's token that was inscribed 'ONE CENT'.It was issued by a trader who was located in Charlottetown,P.E.I. until he moved to another colony.I cannot remember who this was.If you have a copy of the Charlton Canadian Token Catalogue,please can you look it up. |
