Thanks for the link Henry. By my understanding after reading it, I think it states that coins could be melted with a special permit and coins that are bent or defaced are not legal tender. Or did I read that wrong? You are correct. I should state that I’m from the United States and not a Canadian b...

Are they uncirculated? Are they sequential serial numbers?

In Canada, it is illegal to melt legal currency. Does the penny still fall under legal currency? I've talked to local scrappers in our area and none of them will take copper pennies. Let us know if there is something I'm missing I do believe you’re correct. And I think it’s actually illegal to melt...

Here in the states I can buy them at less than face. The local coin shop sells them at .75 for the exchange rate now and then at a .8 after that.I think they are worth more in melt value than they are in numismatic value. See https://www.coinflation.com/canada/

Keep looking you can find some keepers in change my son found these. They are not worth much by a nice fellow coin collector sent them infor him.

To me, it looks like something whacked it that had a round shape and an indent that made the "point" on the coin as it was hit. Definitely PMD. Thanks for the answer. With the Covid coin shortage down in the states we’ve been giving out half dollars instead of quarters and I’ve noticed it seems to ...

Is the "point" raised? It looks like, from the photo, that there is a larger "crater around the "point" and inside your red circle. Can you provide a clearer, photo without the red circle? I just copied the photo above. I noticed that when I saw the rolling machine rings that he was asking about. J...

Is there a small error on his cheek?

No blog and with Covid all is on hold. We were on the US TV show Nightline on penny hoarding Nine years ago. That is why we had a bin on copper penny’s. See https://abcnews.go.com/Nightline/video/extreme-penny-hoarders-hope-cash-15077826 . We were told my son would not walk are talk when he was youn...
