100 year old Cent Canadian-how did I get it

[Guest]

Today I was asking myself what am I going to find next to get me upbeat as I was searching 58D's and had only minor luck. I took a break and looked for some pocket change and found a Canadian Cent from 1911. I have no clue if it is collectible but one thing is for sure I am adding it to my granddaughters collection.There is a farthing that looks like this coin so I guess it is someone's error.
Does anyone have a clue about this one. WHERE IS LARA. She may know about this one.

Looks like a normal Canadian Cent Lucien, what do you mean by error ?
And yes it is collectable.

Someone did not see the date on the reverse so They just put it back in circulation.

you have a Canadian large cent, it has the same obverse as a British Farthing from Great Britain. these are not errors.

actually the farthing has a different obverse...sorry about that.

That is an Oldie but Goodie for a collectible. CONGRATS!!!

Good find I think its getting very hard to find these more and more over there especially do to the Alloy recovery program Canada has in place

I wonder what someone thought it was, this is a large cent and would not match up with our 19mm cents. I have found 20's and up in change. That's when Canada reduced it's cent size. But I always love odd ball finds. It makes the hobby fun.
