Two questions about pennys
Ok I found this site
http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.cht...ncoln_cent_mod which you guys probably already know - I noticed,for instance,that a 1987 s penny grade 67 can fetch 8 bucks. Is that right ? And how do you tell if its a '67'or '68' - I'm guessing that some kind of grade. Also,is canadian money worth anything ? Well,I know it is to canadians,but do their coins tend to be collectible to anyone besides them ? The reason I ask is that I found a cigar box full of pennies in an attic,and some of them are canadian. |

Well,I know it is to canadians,but do their coins tend to be collectible to anyone besides them ? Sure. Coin collecting isn't restricted to one's own national borders; and especially recently, Canada has produced some nice circulating commemoratives. The reason I ask is that I found a cigar box full of pennies in an attic,and some of them are canadian. You could start a collection by looking for a Whitman coin folder designed for Canadian pennies. Look on Ebay for starters. You could also start a collection of (presumably) US pennies from that old box as well. Even UK, NZ and Australia have collecting folders for a variety of coin denominations.

Must have slipped the National Guard over the border during the weekend and took the mounties by complete suprise.

Yeah I could start a collection,but I got too many hobbies already,and I'm looking to turn metal into paper in this case. Box is so heavy I could probably use it as a dead weight also. Yup theres a bunch of U.S. pennies as well - Are they made of the same mix of metals ? Seems the canadian coins are typically much brighter than U.S. |

Not an invasion, but a buyout. We really just wanted your prescription drugs, but when Jacques made us an offer for the whole thing...well, Alaska worked our well for us so why not?

Looking at eBay, I see a PCGS PF69 DC that sold for $13.99 plus shipping. PCGS price guide lists that grade at $35. A lot of nice uncertified proof cents, probably at least PF67, selling for $1.75 or there abouts. I did see one that brought $20, but most are a lot cheaper or take no bids.

As for quebec - I'd say their most valuable asset would be them french speaking little hotties. |

Are the majority of these coins professionally appraised,or is the grade more or less a matter of opinion ? Also,is canadian money worth anything ?
