Nice Canadian Large Cent

Another nice day to get out.

Want to play a game of "Keepsies" for this one?

Congrats on the LC - it's in excellent condition !

I found a 1920 Canadian Large Cent here in Ohio last year - in similar condition to yours.
1857 was the last year Large Cents were minted in the US and 1920 was the last year for Canada.
An interesting fact ...
Canada was still minting Large Cents (63) years after the US went to the smaller Flying Eagle & Indians Cents

Looks like the plain narrow 9, but, nice condition! Key is late 60's to mid 80's Mopar.

Those look solid (opaque) base. Not sure mine is the same. Mine is clear based with the colors on the outside. Also has quite a few bubbles inside. But I'm not an expert on marbles.
I think I'll keep it though. Thanks for the offer. I love finding marbles. Probably dig about a dozen every year while pursuing other objects. I keep them displayed in an old mason jar. They fit with the other finds as "treasures".

Agree. It looks like the narrow nine variety. Doubt I would get THAT price though.

I too like those large cents. Your soil must be the right composition to preserve them. I've found many corroded ones in the soil here in their home country.
