Question
i got a 1968 canadian penny from a bank roll. in great condition. when i flip it over to see the back, it's side ways. like its 15 degrees off center. i know canada coins are diff. than ours. but the back is side ways. is this a canadian mint error, and is there any value?
Hi Randy, yes, it is a mint error. The type and extent of the error influences the value as well as amount of wear and collector demand. You might try the Error Coins link on this web site: http://coinsite.com/ or http://www.jimscoins.net/error_coin_examples.php .
You might take it by a local coin shop for a first hand opinion: http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/coin_dealers .
It may have similar value to a U.S. cent.
