1944 Canada 1 Cent for sale. This coin is a excellent example of how these cents have been known to tone over the years as it is believed that a slightly different alloy was used when making small cents in 1944, sometimes resulting in a spectacular array of colors like those seen on this piece. The obverse of this coin features well-balanced tones of gold, brown, and green, while the reverse primarily features electric green toning. The overall eye appeal of this piece is fantastic, but too many chatter marks under 10x magnification prevents a choice grade; coin is MS-60 in my opinion. Free shipping.
