Most people refer to the annual Charlton Coin guide when it's mentioned. However, that is Vol1 for the year. Vol 2 covers all the noncirculating coinage. Most bookstores will carry it, but Charlton and Ebay have many

Just lookin at the crown band and the vertical jewels, I'd say VF-20. Some may say VF-30 but no more than that. Full retail to a newbie would be $20 Cdn or less. Most posted vales are listed at what a person HOPES to get, not what someone would actually pay which may be $10 or so.

The coin on the left has to be rotated so that Canada is exactly on the bottom. That's the way that the coin is actually struck. The painting application is put on with no N-S orientation. It's just affixed to the coin where ever that may be. Once you do that, see how far off the strike is.

I don't see any DDR from the photos. There may be a little die deterioration doubling or MD, but not DDR. The phots don't have enough magnification to see correctly. This is a Dn site, but most here are familiar with Yank coins.

Do an archive search on this and other coin sites. Look in the "BST" forum on this site. If the country ever opens up again, go to a major show or two and talk to some dealers.

Do you mean the lack of a rim edge?

Yes, they will reduce in value, but it all depends on the scarcity of the coin, what kind of external source is present on the coin, and if you are just minor dipping or actually cleaning. It's far better to leave everything as is, unless you are dealing with corrosion that will get worse. You need ...

Need a photo.

People just messing around. If you cool the inner section and apply a little heat to the outside ring, the center pops right out. Put them back together the opposite way and you have your coin. It's very easy to do.

This is a Canadian coin site and I doubt that anyone even knows what a "prisoner cent" refers to. I see nothing but a penny that's led a hard life.

yes, and nice Blakesley Effect as well

Sorry, I thought that it was a quarter. It doesn't look like struck-thru-grease either.
