Canadian Pennies

Well, one of the very elusive 2006P non-magnetic cents is up for sale on ebay. Since there are few sales recorded, it will be hard to say if it is increasing or decreasing in value. But with 5 days to go in the auction, the price is already at a very healthy level. And it is "only" an MS64..........

Any older pennies that if I buy I would make money?

Note that there are a few points to remember here:

1. Historically, most people who invest in coins end up losing money.
2. The perfect time to sell your coin might have been the day before you bought it. Don't think you can beat the system, because intelligent coin investors know what to avoid.
3. The surest way to lose money is to neglect your investment. Knowledge is everything, and invest time into your collection.

Here are some 1-cent coins that I have never lost money on:

- 1861 and 1864 Nova Scotia Half Cents, AU or better grades.
- 1884 Obverse 1, F or better grades
- 1907H cent, AU or better grades
- 1925 cent, EF or better grades
- 1929 High 9, AU or better, preferably with lustre
- 1948 A to SMALL denticles, mint state grades
- 1953 Shoulder Fold, MS-63 or better, FULL RED
- 1955 No Shoulder Fold, EF or better with decent eye-appeal

Avoid corrosion of any kind and carbon spots on mint state coins. Think of eye-appeal when investing, if you think a coin is beautiful, someone else will also. Good luck!

thank you I will definately look into those coins
