Collector Research Notes

The reverse depicts the iconic one-cent maple leaf design, commemorating the farewell to the Canadian penny as it was removed from circulation in 2013.

What Collectors Usually Check

  • This issue is tagged as limited in the local catalog, so collector demand often depends on condition, eye appeal, and how often examples surface for sale.
  • Melt value gives you a useful floor for precious-metal content, but finished collector pieces can still trade at a premium based on packaging, scarcity, and market demand.
  • Original mint pricing provides issue-day context, but aftermarket pricing often moves independently once a coin sells out or enters the secondary market.
  • Use the listed edge, diameter, finish, and legends to verify the exact issue before comparing prices or catalog entries.
