Very Rare 1 Cent Coin Acquired! NGC Top Graded! posted by Augustus

[CSJournals-migration]

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!

That is one sweet cent. I see that only about 18 even show up in the pop report that have been graded. WOW

Nice one. Talk about a long wait but like they "good things come to those who wait".

How complete is your set now?
