Hinkle Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thought this is pretty cool. Look it up but couldn't find one to figure out any errors. All I found was that the mintage for a 1958 and 1962 is pretty low. But the 1960 and 1963 is pretty high. But pretty interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohawk Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Hey Hinkle, That's another cool find! I like those 1950's and 1960's Philippine issues myself. They're pretty sharp. I don't see any errors on your coin either, just a nice circulated business strike. Was this a circulation find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually first time ever seeing one. I've found dimes in the rolls but not these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mohawk Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 It's definitely an unusual find for a US cent roll. I've never found one out in the wild. I think the most exotic find I've had is a Panama quarter balboa, but since they are the same size and composition as a US quarter, that'd be a more likely find than your centavo. I've also found some Loonies, which are always fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mohawk Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) Are you talking about a 1946 Canadian Cent? If so, they're collectible. They're valued around the same as Wheat cents, about 10 cents a piece. If it helps, you can think of the George VI Cents as Canadian Wheat Cents . Canada is one of my specialties.....I know a lot about Canadian coins and I'm willing to share my knowledge whenever it's needed.

Mohawk Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Thanks for the pics. Yep, that's a George VI Cent. I always love finding them....hunting for those guys in circulation was my earliest collecting pursuit. I started down the coin collecting path because of a 1947 Maple Leaf Cent I found when I was 8. I always have great memories when I see one of those......great find Hinkle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryNich Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I just found one of these Canadian cents yesterday. 1943 and looks to be in pretty decent shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huh .🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
