Wheatbackfever New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 03/30/2011 11:19 pm rachums107: The keydates are: 1922 1923 1924 1925 1926 Two varieties are the 1947 Mapleleaf, and the 1967 Centennial, in which the dove is on the reverse. In 1965, there were several small and large bead varieties, with either a pointed or blunt "5". Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff
Corrupted Valued Member Canada 68 Posts	Posted 03/31/2011 04:18 am For myself when I hunt rolls I look for: 1 Cent: anything 1970 and older, then I check for any known varieties. 1985 for blunt or pointed 5. There are of course the shoulder/no shoulder folds to look for. 5 Cent: Again 1970 and older, also keep a look out for the 64' extra water line. Plus I like to keep the commemorative coins for our military 10 Cent: 1970 and older. Keep an eye out for silver 68' 25 Cent: 1970 and older plus I keep all the Olympic and commemorative ones. Also got a thing for 1973 Mountie ones. When I first started I began a set of the best graded coin of every year I could find, and now I upgrade any of the dodgy ones as I go along. There are many more varieties and such to look for but theses are the basics.

soccerdad Valued Member Canada 311 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 2:30 pm When looking for Canadian pennies watch out for p's. 4 varieties of 2006 and 2 varieties of 1983. Also three varieties in 1948 including newly Identified 'A' points to small denticles. Good luck. Edited by soccerdad 04/02/2011 2:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
