COPPER COPPER COPPER

[ccg]

A die cap is actually quite a bit different - I don't have an example, unfortuantely.

 

What you have looks to be either a very sharp strike, or more likely, a regular coin where someone hammered the edge in a bit, resulting in a smaller diameter and higher rim.

Id guess the first one then. its the diameeter as any other, just thicker with a deeper rim. However the inside is thinner

Canadian were the very first coins I ever collected. Way back when I was a little tyke. I think I was in the 7 or 8 years old range when I started my Canadian Collection. It was a lot of fun and getting rolls from the bank would sometimes produce some nice Canadian coins. I used to ask the tellers for any they had and built a pretty nice collection that way. Canadian Large Cents were my first real focus collection and most could be pulled from the local dealer's junk box. FUN!!

Here is a 1944 MUNT VAN CURACOA 2 1/2cent

 

[Art1.2]

Here's one of my favorite collection pieces. This coin was punched in the center and used as a washer, a fate shared by quite a number of US Large Cents. From what I've read this practice stems from both the availability of the cents and the fact that a pre-made washer, if available, was probably more expensive.

That's probably my most attractive large cent.

 

 

 

I do have an 1802 but it doesn't seem to photograph well (at least the photos don't do it justice).
