Another conversion to Canadian large cent collector?
Numismatic author & owner of the Uncommon Cents collections. 2011 Fred Bowman award winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson award winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca award winner.
If I keep seeing them like this I may very well be a convert My wife likes to collect World Coins and I usually pick them up for her. She already has a 1920 and she is not a big fan of toned coins. Me on the other hand really enjoy a nice natural toned coin. And do not find many World Coins with nice toning on them.
I have no idea of the history of the coin other than an elderly gentleman came into the shop reached in his pocket and pulled out a handful of world coins and said he was tired of them kicking around in his house and wanted to know if they were worth anything So the owner of the shop where I volunteer grabbed a recent copy of the World Coin Values book and went through and found all of them in the book and gave the gentleman full book value on all of them. He was a very nice older gentleman. We put them in a box that we have for kids when they come in We always give the kids a couple of coins for free. Owner of the shop told him not to tell his friends what he got for them. If it got around we would spend all day going through boxes of world coins.

really enjoy a nice natural toned coin.

with nice toning on them.

I hope I'm wrong though.
