Canadian One Cent Coin Collection |
 |
 Welcome to my collection! I've been collecting Canadian pennies ever since I was a little boy. I used to have one of those cardboard folder booklets with the little cut out circles where you pressed your pennies into. The booklet had a blue cover, as I recall. I believe my parents bought me them for Christmas one year. None the less, it started my fascination with pennies that continues to this day. At present, I've collected over 100 pennies, covering a vast array of years. The collection is by no means complete, nor is it of much value. I'm not one of "those" collectors, that has to have high quality, non-circulated coins. I prefer beat up and dirty coins. I find they have much more character, and I'd rather ponder who else might have held these coins in their hands? Sir John A. MacDonald? Billy Bishop? Pierre Elliot Trudeau? Charlie Farkison? Who knows!
The side benefit of collecting Canadian pennies that aren't exactly pristine, is that it keeps the cost of my hobby way down! Hopefully you'll find this collection interesting and enjoyable.
