Last day of a local coin show tomorrow and I'm plopping myself in front of dealer's bowl of modern cents armed with a magnet.
Has anyone found some of the atypical mag (06, 06P, 09, 10, 11, 12) or non-mag cents (06P, 07, 08) in circulation, when they circulated that is. Curious what my chances are.
Magnetic and non-magnetic cents "in the wild"
Re: Magnetic and non-magnetic cents "in the wild"
Whew!
Went thru about 2,000 modern Canadian cents and found three keepers (2009, 2011 & 2012) all thanks to my trusty magnet. Plenty of magnetic 09's, they're easily the most common, very few 2010's of any kind, rather strange. Of course I used coinsandcanada's checklist as my guide. Also had a great conversation with the seller about Canadian coins in general.
Might I suggest a more ordered look to the 2006 cent listings? Something like this is more reader friendly:
2006 - Magnetic
2006 - Non magnetic
2006 - P - Magnetic
2006 - P - Non magnetic
2006 - RCM Logo - Magnetic
2006 - RCM Logo - Non magnetic

Another editorial note.
In the dollar coin section, there's no listing for 2006 RCM.
