A somewhat dark, but nice, 1 cent coin of Queen Victoria. Canada, 1901.

Thank you Erik. Silver and copper are my favourite coin metals. The older the coin, the better. I just wish that the dark copper coins cooperated with my camera more than they do, so I could post up the other half of my collections.

I really like that purplish-brown of Canadian large cents. Very nice grade too--XF45 perhaps? I think this might be the "bold date" version for that year, which carries a bit more value.

It is the same opinion as my. I think they are favorite coin metals for many collectors. Unfortunately I very hard obtaining similar coins. It is very good idea post up the other half of your collections. I will anjoy. . When I cannot have nice coins in my collection I am happy to see ones in collection my friends. KurtS : I admire as differences you see on coins.

I might add--these older large cents aren't difficult coins for many of us to get. If anyone overseas wants one, I have some extra Australia or Canadian large cents they're welcome to.

I'm happy to send you an old Aussie kangaroo penny--I have lots of extras. PM me your address, and I'll send it away.

Kurt, thank you for that picture of the different dates! I've never been much of one for collecting varieties, but if I can find them I will. I'll check the other 1901s that I have, to see if I've got them both. And thank you again for the variety Aussie ha'penny! That one is fantastic.

Ellekitty, you're welcome! I was lucky enough to run across a cache of pennies where I found 6, so I was more than happy to share. The diagnostic photo is from Pierre Charest's Canadian coins and varieties. The e-book is very nice resource to take screen shots, but unfortunately it's no longer made.

Erik, As an update: I mailed you two Australian coins today--a 1956 Kangaroo penny, and a 1921 halfpenny.
