A true modern rarity! I have been searching for this coin in a high grade for nearly 5 years!

For the past five years or so, I have been searching for this coin in a high grade. One was available at the Torex auction in MS62, but ended up selling for over $5000. The 1955 No Shoulder Fold Canada 1 Cent coin is truly a rare coin, and is the key for the 1953 - 2012 1 cent set. Only very rarely does this coin come up for auction, and they are usually in VF condition.

I was very lucky to acquire the NGC Top Graded 1955 NSF Canada 1 cent coin at a very reasonable price, and it is the prize of my penny collection. What a great day!
