The young head Victorian coins, struck in 1858 and 1859 prior to Confederation, are British Colonial coins issued under the Province of Canada. While nearly everyone, including myself, commonly refers to them as pennies, the proper denomination is a "cent" equal to the American cent, and is actually equal to the British 1/2 penny (so a penny is 2 cents). When first issued the government had them struck to a standard of 100 coins to the pound of bronze rather than the the British standard of 80 coins to the pound of bronze. This made the coins unpopular and poorly accepted by the public. This type was designed by Leonard C. Wyon, and was struck from an alloy containing 95% copper, 4% tin and 1% zinc. The standard weight was 4.54 grams with a diameter of 25.4 mm (1 inch). Unlike the silver coins of this series, these large cents were struck with medal alignment, except for a very rare variety of the 1859 which had a 180 degree die rotation causing it to have coinage alignment (we have never seen one, and am not certain any actually exist).

1859 cents have many small varieties in how the 9 in the date is shown. The most common are standard Narrow 9, of which there is a sub variety known as the Low 9. Several left over 1858 dies were re-punched to change the date from 1858 to 1859, without first erasing the second 8 so that sometimes part of the 8 still visible, creating what are known as a 9 over 8 (or 9/8) varieties. Other varieties are known as "double punch" varieties but are probably 9/8 but with no trace of the earlier 8 visible, but resulting an oddly shaped 9's. To understand the differences between the many 1859 varieties, it is best to consult the illustrations in the Charlton standard catalogue of Canadian Coins.

Mature Head
1876 to 1901

Canada was confederated as a country in 1867, but there was at first no need for 1 cent pieces, as the government still had large stocks of un-issued 1858 and 1859 Province of Canada cents on hand. The first cent struck under the Dominion of Canada was in 1876, at which time the weight standard was raised to 80 coins to the pound of bronze bring them in line with the British 1/2 penny, and make the coins more acceptable to the public. To this day people often call these coins a Canadian penny, this is incorrect as the one cents coins are equal to a 1/2 penny. Prior to 1908 there was no mint in Canada, so all of Canada's coins were struck in England at one of two mints. Those without a mint mark were struck at the Royal Mint at London. Those with the "H" mint mark were struck at the Heaton Mint at Birmingham. With the exceptions of 1898 and 1900 the "H" mint mark, when present, is immediately below the date. In 1898 and 1900 the "H" mint mark is at the bottom of the reverse, centered under the date but below the outer leaves nearly touching the coins rim. These were designed by Leonard C. Wyon and were struck from 95% copper, 4% tin and 1% zinc. The standard weight was increased to 5.67 grams but with the diameter still 25.4 mm (1 inch), and continue to be struck with medal alignment (all other Canadian coins of this period were struck to coinage alighment). Although they all look the same at first glance, four very slightly different portraits of Queen Victoria were used on Canadian large cents, known as Obverse's 1, 2, 3 and 4. From 1876 to 1881 only obverse 1 was used. From 1882 to 1886 both obverse's 1 and 2 were used. In 1887 and 1888 only obverse 2 was used. In 1890 only obverse 3 was used. In 1891 both obverse 2 and 3 were used. In 1892 obverse 2, 3 and 4 were all used. Than from 1893 to 1901 only obverse 4 was used. For a complete discussion of how to tell the different obverse designs apart, you will need one of the newer editions of the Charlton Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins where they are all illustrated and discussed.

Prior to 1908, any Canadian coin which was not mintmarked was struck at the Royal Mint in London, England, but starting in 1908 non-mint marked coins were struck in Canada at the Royal Canadian Mint in Ottawa. The 1907 coins with an "H" mint mark (below the leaves on the reverse, centred under the date) were struck at the Heaton mint in Birmingham, England. This Obverse type was designed by G. W. DeSalles, while the reverse continues the type designed by Leonard C. Wyon used since 1858. These were struck from an alloy containing 95% copper, 4% tin and 1% zinc. The standard weight was 5.67 grams with a diameter of 25.4 mm (1 inch).

The Canadian large cent saw a whole new design for the 1911 to 1920 issues under George V. When first introduced in 1911 the coins were struck lacking "DEI GRATIA" (latin for "by God's Grace") in the obverse inscription and became known as the "GODLESS COINS". This caused such an outrage that in 1912 the obverse inscriptions were modified so that "DEI GRATIA" was again included on these coins. This Obverse type was designed by Sir E. B. MacKennal, and the reverse by W. H. J. Blakemore. These were struck from an alloy containing 95% copper, 4% tin and 1% zinc. The standard weight was 5.67 grams with a diameter fo 25.4 mm (1 inch). All were struck at the Royal Canadian mint in Ottawa.

In 1920, both large and small cents were struck. A considerable number of the 1920 large cents were melted to recover their metal for striking of 1920 small cents, but they are still relatively common coins.




To commemorate the Royal Canadian Mint's 90th anniversary, special sets of coins were struck with the sizes, alloys, and general reverse designs of the 1908 coins, but Queen Elizabeth's portrait and the date shown as "1908 - 2008". The one cent coins are the only large cents struck after 1920. The early sets were struck with an antiqued matte-proof finish that proved un-popular with collectors, but an interesting variety on the once cent because the designer forgot to place the word "Canada" appear below the Queen's portrait, making these the only Canadian coins on which "CANADA" does not appear anywhere. Sets struck later in the year were issued as mirror-proofs, and with "CANADA" added below the Queen's portrait on the one cent coins.

SMALL CENTS

GEORGE V


IMAGE OF 1920 TO 1936, TYPE ONLY

In 1920, mostly to reduce the cost of coinage production, the government ceased to issue large cents at the standard of the British half penny, and began striking small cents of the same weight standard as the American cent. The obverse design is slightly different than that on the large cents and is by Sir E.B. MacKennal, whose initials B.M. appear on the truncation of the bust. The reverse design is totally new and by Fred Lewis. The alloy also changed slightly as these contain 95.5% copper, 3% tin and 1.5% zinc. The standard weight is 3.24 grams, with a diameter of 19.05 mm (3/4 inch).

GEORGE VI
1937 to 1952


IMAGE OF 1937 TO 1947, TYPE ONLY

1937 saw a major change in Canadian coin designs, making them somewhat more artistic, and now each Canadian denomination had its own distinctive reverse designs (earlier coins were all variations on the same design). The obverse (common to all the denominations) was designed by T. H. Paget, whose initials H.P. appear on the truncation of the bust. The reverse Maple leaf design is totally new and by Kruger-Gray, as indicated by the initials K.G. in the lower right field. From 1937 to partway through 1942 these coins were struck from an alloy containing 95.5% copper, 3% tin and 1.5% zinc (the same as the earlier small cents) but part way through 1942 the alloy was changed to 98% copper, 0.5% tin and 1.5% zinc. The standard weight is 3.24 grams, with a diameter of 19.05 mm (3/4 inch). All dates from 1937 to 1952 are common in average circulated condition. Because it is not economical for us to list coins under $1.00, some dates will not be listed here unless we have high-grade specimens available. After 1936 there are no rare dates for Canadian 1 cent coins, and examples in average circulation condition are not listed here because the value would not be enough to warrant the time needed to package and list them. The examples we have listed are either of relatively high quality, or rare varieties of that date (or both). For any dates we have not listed, it is because do currently do not have examples in high enough quality to warrant listing.

In 1947 India received its independence, so "IND IMP" (India's Emperor) had to be removed from the King's titles on any British Commonweath coins dating 1948 or newer. In Canada a problem arose when early in 1948 the new dies with "IND IMP" removed were late arriving from England, but new coins were needed so a decision was made to issue coins dated 1947, but with a small maple leaf after the date to indicate they were actually minted in 1948. There are now two recognized varieties of the 1947 maple leaf 1 cent coins, which are the pointed 7 and blunt 7, with the pointed 7 being the common one. When first noticed, the blunt 7 examples were thought to be rare, and a few were sold for very high prices, but since then many more have been found, they they are now considered to be only a slightly scarce variety,

Late in 1948 the new dies arrived from England and coins actually dated 1948 were struck with the new inscription. All other aspects of the coins remain the same as on the earlier issue. A minor variation appears on both the 1948 and 1949 1 cent coins where on the obverse the final A of "GRATIA" points between two of the denticles (know as either an A between or A off denticle), and on others it points directly to a denticle.

ELIZABETH II
1953 to date


IMAGE OF 1953 TO 1964, TYPE ONLY



1953 saw the introduction of Elizabeth II's portrait based on designs by Mary Gillick, whose initials appear on the truncation of the bust. The reverse remains Kruger-Gray's maple leaf design, with his initials in the right field. The flans remain 19.05 mm, 3.25 grams of 98% copper, 0.5% tin and 1.5% zinc Most of the coins struck in 1953 appear to show the Queen with a bare shoulder, which was considered to be inappropriate. The die engraver (Thomas Shingles) had cut dies with too much relief and weak shoulder fold lines which were present on the dies but seldom fully struck up on the coins, resulting in what is known as the "no shoulder fold" or "no shoulder strap" (NSS) variety. Later in 1953 new dies were cut with lower relief and a stronger shoulder fold which strikes up on the coins, creating what is known as the "shoulder fold" or "shoulder strap" (SS) variety. Some of the lettering was also modified, so the earlier NSS examples have strongly serifed "I"'s on the obverse, while the later SS variety has much straighter "I"'s. On worn coins, the shape of these "I"'s is an easy way to confirm which type you are looking at. NSS - no shoulder strap SS - shoulder strap

From 1954 to 1964 the obverse design was intended to remain the SS variety, but some 1954 proof-like sets contain cents accidentally struck with a 1953 NSS die, and a few 1955 circulation strikes cents were also struck with a 1953 NSS obverse die. Both are rare, and fraud artists sometime attempt to polish off the SS area, but they cannot add serifed "I"'s to the obverse inscription, and so it is important to check that letter form to confirm the variety on these.

One of the 1962 dies shows considerable doubling on the 9, 6 and 2 of the date, with the ghost under date shifted up slightly from the main date, probably due to hub doubling. These are known as the double date variety.

One 1962 one cent die had some very fine vertical lines running between the bottom of the 1 in the denomination, down into the notch in the maple leaf, probably resulting from die polish marks. This variety is commonly known as the "HARP" variety and while not listed in the standard catalogues of Canadian coins, but is listed in Hans Zoell's books on Canadian varieties as #K86c.

In 1965 it was decided to update the Queen's portrait to a slightly more mature look, with the new design by Arnold Machin, showing the Queen with more drapery on her shoulders, and a tiara on her head. The reverse design by Kruger-Gray was retained unchanged. The alloy of 98% copper, 0.5% tin and 1.5% zinc continued to be used, as did the standard weight of 3.24 grams, and diameter of 19.05 mm. The change in obverse design did not go quite as smoothly as planned, as in 1965 both large and small bead varieties occur. There are also two varieties of how the 5 is drawn in the date, so one actually finds four varieties of 1965 cents. TYPE 1 : Small beads, pointed 5 (slightly scarce) TYPE 2 : Small beads, blunt 5 (common) TYPE 3 : Large beads, blunt 5 (common) TYPE 4 : Large beads, pointed 5 (scarcer)

In 1967, to celebrate Canada's 100th anniversary as a country, all of the standard circulating coins were issued depicting various animals common to Canada, with a dove on these 1 cent coins. Please note that the examples of this type we offer here are exceptional examples, either Proof-likes, Specimens or high end MS examples, often with a cameo portrait and/or dove. Normal examples, even in MS-60 to 63, or examples from proof-like or specimens sets with any problems, are very common and of no significant value beyond what you can spend them for, so we do not offer them here. Technically, these 1 cent coins have more value in the copper than their face value, but it is not enough higher to warrant them being sold for copper value. For most coins if listed as cameo it is only the portrait side where the cameo effect is important. On these 1967 coins many people like the cameo effect on the animals, so for these we will note if the cameo is on the portrait, on the dove, or both (you seldom get it on both, but they do show up sometimes in the specimen sets).




In 1967, to celebrate Canada's 100th anniversary as a country, all of the standard circulating coins were issued depicting various animals common to Canada, with a dove design by Alex Covillie used for the one cent. The alloys, weight and size remained unchanged. PLEASE NOTE THAT 1967 1 CENT COINS ARE VERY COMMON AND NORMAL CIRCULATION STRIKES, EVEN IN MINT CONDITION, ARE OF VERY LITTLE VALUE.

Brockage Error

A brockage error occurs when a finished coin is not ejected from the dies and is still present when the next flan enters the dies and is struck. The earlier coin covers up the die and is impressed into the new coin created a mirrored images of it self where the regular design should be. This example is called a semi-brockage because only part of another of the earlier coin was still between the dies resulting in the brockage area only covering part of the coin. As the rims are in this case fully formed in the new coin, the semi-brockage must have resulted when only a fragment of the previous coin was present, most likely having broken off due to a lamination error on that previous coin. Inside the brockage area, one can see parts of the beading and a few letters impressed from that fragment of that previous coin.

1968 saw a return to the standard Maple leaf reverse design that had been in use since 1937. For the most part, average circulated examples of dates from 1968 and nearer are still in circulation and have no value, so we don't list them here. For most dates, we only list examples taken from Proof-like, Specimen and Proof sets and even then only if very nice problem free examples.

In 1979 one of the dies, through what is probably hub doubling, developed a doubling of the last three digits in the date. There may have been two dies involved because some specimens show the doubling much more strongly than others.

Brockage Error

The 1979-81 reverse brockage error below cannot be identified to an exact date as the brockage occurred over the place where the date would have been, but it can be narrowed down to that period. Brockage errors occur when a coin is struck with part or all of another finished coin between it and the dies, so that the design of that coin gets impressed into the flan. Most brockage errors on Canadian coins show an obverse impressed into a reverse (an obverse brockage error), and only rarely a reverse impressed into an obverse. This coin has an reverse impressed into the reverse, which means the coin causing the brockage had to flips over between the two strikes. This is a highly unlikely occurrence, making this a very rare type of error (in fact, we have never seen another one on a Canadian coin). If we could read the date, it would be priced a lot higher.

1980 saw a change in the 1 cent coins that went largely unnoticed by the public. The designs remained the same, as did the alloy, but the weight was reduced from 3.24 grams to only 2.8 grams. This was accomplished by a slight reduction in the diameter from 19.05 mm to 19.00 mm, and more importantly a reduction in the thickness from about 1.5 mm to 1.38 mm. The difference sounds minor but with a mintage of about 1 billion coins per year, the monetary savings in producing these coins was huge.

The 1980 foreign blank error below is only 0.7 mm thick, 18.9 mm in diameter, and 1.4 grams. What shows of the design is fairly crisp towards the bottom on both sides, but very weak to the left and right, and towards the top did not strike up at all. This is because too thin for the dies to close properly on the flan. There is no Canadian coin of this period struck to the 1.4 gram and roughly 18.9 mm specifications, so this flan had to have been intended for one of the many foreign coins made at the mint during that period.

1982 saw another significant change in the 1 cent coins in that while the alloy remained the same (98% copper, 0.5% tin and 1.5% zinc), the weight was further reduced from 2.8 grams to only 2.5 grams. The size actually increased from 19.00 mm to 19.1 mm, but the weight reduction was accomplished by making the coin 12 sided by cutting a small amount of metal off at 12 points around the edge. There was also a very minor design change on the reverse where the dentical border was replaced by a beaded border.

The 1985 cent has two varieties in how the 5 in the date is drawn. On the very common blunt 5 variety, the 5's top is straight up and down at the front. On the much scarcer pointed 5 variety, that part of the 5 angles up to the right.

ELIZABETH II

Crowned Head Series


IMAGE OF 1990 to 1991, 1993 to 2001, and 2003, TYPE ONLY



1990 saw and update the Queen's portrait to a more mature style wearing a crown, designed by Dora de Pedery-Hunt. This issue caused some concern when many people noticed the Queen was wearing a King's crown rather than a Queen's crown, and people thought it was an error that would be recalled. That crown was designed for George IV around 1830 to be a comfortable light weight crown, and has been worn by every King and Queen (including Elizabeth) since then, and is the correct crown for the design of these coins. Kruger-Gray's maple leaf design remains on the reverse, as does the alloy of 98% copper, 0.5% tin and 1.5% zinc, with 12 sides at 19.1 mm and 2.5 grams.

1992 was Canada's 125th anniversary of confederation, so most 1992 coins were double dated, with "1867 - 1992". All else remained the same, and in 1993 the single dating resumed.

1997 saw a major change in the Cent coins. The basic designs remained the same with the mature crowned bust of the Queen by Dora de Pedery-Hunt, and reverse maple leaf design by Kruger-Gray, but the alloy was changed to pure zinc core plated with copper. The coins again become round (rather than 12 sided) and are 19.05 mm with the weight reduced to 2.25 grams. In 1997 and 1997 all striking qualities (Proof-like, specimen and proof) are on the copper plated zinc core flans.

In 1998, the Canadian Mint experimented with mint-marked coins in the mint sets, placing a small "W" in front of the Queen's head on those struck at the Winnipeg mint, but those struck at the Ottawa mint do not have the "W". The experiment was abandoned part way through the year, and examples with the "W" are much scarcer than those without. This is odd, because the "W" mint sets while scarcer are less expensive than the Ottawa sets. In later years the "W" mint mark was again used on some Winnipeg mint coins.

In 1999, as a cost saving measure, the Canadian Mint made plans to strike 1, 5, 10, 25 and 50 cent coins on plated steel blanks. The steel blanks were first nickel plated, then copper plated, with the 1 cent coins struck after only the copper plating, but the 5, 10, 25 and 50 cent were given a second nickel plating before being struck. A small letter "P" was placed below the Queen's head to indicated coins are on plated steel cored blanks. No "P" coins were issued for circulation in 1999, but sets were made as test tokens for calibrating vending machines to them.. The vending machine companies were required to return all such test tokens after finishing with them, but some of the tokens appeared on the market at very high prices. The mint decided to get in on the action and made about 20,000 sets of 1999 "P" coins to sell directly to collectors at just over $100 per set of 5 coins. The packaging was similar to Proof-like sets, so we call these coins Proof-likes, although there exact status is not certain. The 1999 P 1 cent below, is from one of these sets.

In 2000 the first circulation strike "P" coins were minted, no "P" 1 cents were officially released (only 5 cent coins were that year), but a very small number of 2000 P cents are know to exist, probably accidentally released.

Starting in 2001 things get very complicated for the allows of Canadian 1 cents in the various striking qualities. From 2001 to 2006 circulation strike (MS) coins exist for all year on both copper plated Zinc blanks (non-magnetic) without the "P" and on copper plated steel blanks (magnetic) with the P. But when it comes to Proof-like, specimen and proof coins, there are a wide variety of blank types depending on the year of issue, including year where the different strikings exist on different alloys (they even seemed to alternate between pure copper blanks, and bronze blanks for different dates of proof quality coins. Things were not too bad until 2006 when they quite using the "P" for plated on the plated steel blanks and started putting the mint logo on all coins in all striking qualities, no matter what alloy blanks they were struck on. Eventually I will sort these out and list the types as best I can, but that is not going to happen right away.

For 2002 a special commemorative issue was struck for the Queen's 50th anniversary. The design is very similar to those used previously, but the date has been removed from the reverse and placed as a double "1952-2002" date below the Queen's portrait. They exist with with, and without, the P for plated below the portrait. In 2003 they returned to the regular single dated coinage.

2003 is a slightly interesting year for Canadian coins, in that it is both the last year to show Queen Elizabeth with the crowned portrait, and the first year for the new uncrowned head which is also known as the "Jubilee Portrait" as it was introduced to celebrate the 50th year since her coronation. It is also the last year to bear the "W" for Winnipeg mint and at the same time the only year to have both the W for Winnipeg and the P for plated on the same coins. The early year crown portraits are all "P" only, and the later jubilee portraits are all "W P" coins.
