1920 Canadian Cent New Purchase

Stew

I usually only collect U.S. Coins but when I saw this one today it just talked to me.
"Take Me Home" it said and I listened.

Nice, last year of issue for their large cents.

Another conversion to Canadian large cent collector?

Stew

Bosox,

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.

from the pic, the coin looks cleaned and then retoned.

I hope I'm wrong though.

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.
