1920 Canadian George V Small Cent found in brick

[VAB2013]

See there... that's what I thought! At least you got more sleep than I did, you need as much rest as you can get for those 7 or 8 boxes you have not gotten to yet

[furryfrog02]

Nope, I'm all caught up...for now.

[VAB2013]

Well good, since I am tired can I send you pics of the ones that need to be attributed?

Nice find. The oldest I ever found was somewhere in George VI's reign. By the way the key dates for the George V small cents are 1922, 1923 and 1925 with semi-keys in 1924, 1926 and 1930. Find a 1936 with a dot under the date and you can take the next five years off work.

Thank you Admorse. I have a ton of Canadian cents to look through. I knew about the 1936 dot cent ( actually I found out about it on this site from a fellow member ) but I didn't know about the key dates and the semi key dates !

Very cool find. Surprises can be found in any roll. Congrats.

Thank you admrose, this is great info to know. Honestly... until last night I had never seen one, I had to look it up LOL... I am having a hard enough time with Lincoln's! I am all over that "next five years off work" idea!!

Thank you wapa! Last night was definitely an exception to the norm for me. I was seriously pulling 3-4 wheats out of a roll at a time, and 2 DDO's were practically back to back! Fun times

[furryfrog02]

So how many wheats did you end up with? I'm having visions of a mountain of wheaties

[VAB2013]

Furry there were 21, the best is a AU 1957D I thought it was a shield when I pulled it out of the roll. The rest are 39P (X2), 40S, 41D, 42 P&D, 44P, 45 P&D, 46D, 47D (X2), 47S (X2), 194X S either a 1940 or 1948 the last digit is broken but I think it's a zero, 50S, 55P, 56P and 57D (X2) Some folks may think we are kinda strange for caring about all this detail... and we probably are to some extent. But I think it is cool to see what years are being found and I always look at your list Here is a pic of the 57D, I have not even started looking at these wheat's yet.

That 1957D looks closer to Mint State rather than AU Vivien. Really nice.

[furryfrog02]

No kidding! That 57D is beautiful!

[VAB2013]

Awesome, thank you Bob. Hope it has something wrong with it! There was also a nice 59P (attached) don't see this very often in bricks

[VAB2013]

No kidding! That 57D is beautiful!

Thanks furry, when it fell out of the tube I was thinking... "insert a few bad words".... another shield. I was very shocked!
