1928 Canada one cent double almost wheat looking cent

[Sheila ruley]

I can't find any information on this particular Canadian cent. Can anyone tell me about it and if it may carry any premium? It is in almost perfect condition. I can't see much, if any wear. http://www.lincolncentforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=117093&stc=1http://www.lincolncentforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=117094&stc=1

You just found what I call an, "Indian cent of the North." i.e. A King George V small cent - way to go!!! I call them this, because they are as rare, if not rarer than Indian cents to find (and I live right near the Canadian border).

You can learn about these and other Canadian coins here:

Not a big value on the 1928 issues, but with only 9,144,860 minted, they are pretty scarce. If that was a circulation find, great job!!!

Thank you. It was in a customer rolled coin roll. I just can't find any of them online with this type of reverse design.

REALLY nice circulated find, Sheila!

I routinely see as old as the late 30's Canadian cents here in rolls, but I've yet to find one like this...and that's a super grade you have there. Trés bien!! :D
