Northern Most Americas

Do you have a North American coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment

I am really stretching with these finds. They were put aside back when I was not finding anything good so I guess I have to write something about them.

In case anybody was wondering how about my methodology here it goes:
  1. Check all coins and bills
  2. Place on desk anything new, old, weird, or foreign
  3. Line them up in front of the computer for pictures and post
  4. Rinse hands
  5. Repeat
 Occasionally if I get something super-great I break the cycle but that does not happen often.

 

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / Canada
Year: 1999
Mintage: 1,089,625,000
Metal: 98% Copper, 0.5% Tin, 1.5% Zinc

2006 Spanish 2 Euro Cent

Do you have a Euro coin and want to know its value? Leave a comment

The last of a trio of Euro coins I found and it is as common as most Euros. These 2 cent Euros are quite small and I do not see them as often.

Not much else special about this coins so let us go to the pictures.

 

I used an LED (light-emitting diode) to show off the coin. It was not good, I thought fluorescent lighting was bad but LED technology has not reached the natural light levels that incandescent bulbs have today. The sun is still the best for photographing, at least for me.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 2 Euro Cent / Spain
Year: 2006
Mintage: 262,150,004
Metal: Copper Plated Steel: 94.35% Steel 5.65% Copper
Value: $0.07 in F

French Euro Cent

Do you have a coin from France and want to know its value? Leave a comment

Another little tiny Euro cent which is odd since it is smaller than a United States cent and I found a few over the past year in my change. Unlike the last Euro cent last time I found this one is less common but at 300 million plus minted it is not special.

 
 The one thing I like about these French Euros is the description most books give to the obverse, Human Face.  Yup, just human face not Liberty or woman.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Euro Cent / France
Year: 2007
Mintage: 320,142,000
Metal: Copper Plated Steel: 94.35% Steel 5.65% Copper
Value: $0.05 in F
