1936 wheat penny with a 1936 Canadian for penny. struck on it

Do you have a photo of this 1936 on 1936, US/ Canadian coin?

The only Canadian coin I see that was produced at a US Mint was the 1968 nickel. So if you could cite your source on the 1911-1936 that would be great.

Yeah, more talking about your coin? I don't think anyone is gonna open a link.
What you say @Islander80-83

 

I was telling him that Canada minted coins for us in 1936

 

That's just referring to the 1936 Canadian cent. And has nothing to do with a US cent. Stop thinking its a Canadian Cent in a US Cent because that is totally incorrect.

 

So I saying that canads did minted any ud pennies in 1936 -1937

 

I show u in black and white where Canada minted us coins in 1936 same composition and Sam's size as the penny...

 

Please do!

A dot and a D mint mark are 2 different issues.

How long have you been searching and studying mint error issues?

 

The only thing I know is this..


And that can't be struck on a wheat cent.

 

I have enough trouble with coin! I can't be an English translator and psychic mind reader!

Probably something to do with Son of Sam!

 

Here are the specs for the Canadian cent (1936)
Alloy 95.5% copper 3% tin 1.5% zinc
Weight 3.24 grams
Diameter 19.05 mm
Here are the specs for the US cent (1936)
95% copper 5% tin and zinc
Weight 3.11 grams
Diameter 19.00 mm

So you can see they are not the same. The Canadian is slightly larger
and weighs more. Always weigh a coin you have a question about.

 

Canada most certainly did NOT mint cents for the US in 1936.

 

I was actually looking for the Blasey F.
Pics or it didn't happen, You definitely aren't a mind reader.

 

Oddly, according to the Wikipedia for the Canadian Mint (Crown Corp, etc), Canada did produce US Coinage.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_...ith_coinage_struck_at_the_Royal_Canadian_Mint

but in detail that is defined as "the Royal Canadian Mint has produced coinage and planchets for over 73 countries"

So what gives?

I've found no info about Canada making official US coinage, but then I'm far from a Canadian coin expert.

Canada first started making coinage in 1858, and we know the US was earlier than that. After all, Canada used to import all their coinage from UK until 1858.
And the US Philadelphia MINT made Canadian 10cent coinage as recent as 1960, for Canada not the other way around.

BUT, we do know the Canada often is part of the US's attempts at reviewing the coinage material and other options. So yes, Canada has provided the US with planchets, coinage strips etc for non-sensical materials tests.

And we do know that Canada produced planchets, if, as mentioned, only for testing

http://www.coinscan.com/for/usa.html

you just have to peruse the US Mints Alternative Metals documents to see all the Canadian mint example samples provided to the US Mint over the years.

Here is one example of a Canadian planchet nonsense piece for a cent. Planchet Struck by the US Mint for coinage tests.


But I cannot find any information on Canada producing an actual US coin for circulation.

The 1936 / 1937 Canadian Cents are also well documented.

but be careful. Even before the current Trade disputes with other countries the 1936 dot cent was WIDELY available without the "COPY" stamp on them, as seen here.


So if you do not have one of the 3, 2 in private collections and the 3rd recently in the Canadian Museum, odds are then slim to none .. well "none" that someone has a 1936 dot cent unless it is a chinese fake.

Also, remember they made 1 cent, 10 cent and 25 cent pieces with the DOT

pictures are worth more than guessing

 

So confused. I haven't seen any photos from the OP, so what is the point of trying to guess what she has?

 

OP has other threads of "struck on" thus attempting to correlate everything they see to being struck on another mints' coins simply because it has to because it's rare and worth money. Damage, circulation wear, researching the actual situation, etc has nothing to do with it ... LOL
