1. Should we be worrying about sorting Canadian Copper into:
65-77 Cu Value
78-79 Cu Value
80-81 Cu Value
82-96 Cu Value
2. Does anyone seperate the Canadian Zinc from the Steel? Do you save zinc?
3. I seperate the coins up to 1964 (kings and young queen) for potential collector value. I assume others do this as well?

Used to sort like you do, but now I do, 53-79 and then 81-96. I leave in all the young queens head but remove the ones of Geogre to go in other rolls.
I don't seperate Zinc from Steel. They all dump back.

| Would it be worth more on E-bay if you were to separate all the canadians, roll them and sell them according to dates/types. Does anyone also separate the canadian memorials (Rock Dove?). I too have lots of canadian cents and am wondering how to get the most out of them. |
When my wife got after me it sounded like "Blah,Blah,Blah", but now it sounds like "Clink,Clink,Clink". Its amazing what that Ryedale can do for a hounded husband. |

A couple nights ago I tried seperating the pennies by year, with all the 96+ going in one bucket - that lasted for a few hundred coins before I gave up.
Pretty soon I had rows of stacks for pre 50's, 50's, 60's, 70's. 80's and 90's plus two US stacks for Cu vs. Zinc. That is about 50 stacks to classify into! The coins were mostly quite dirty and appeared to have no collector value, and it was taking forever. Ended up just rolling the Canadian Cu all up together. I also decided to roll together - Canadian Zinc/Steel & US Zinc to dump. Then I decided to just pull the few US Zincs out of the dump for statistical purposes, then throw the rolls in my US change jar to just spend when I go stateside. Maybe save a few cents on fx. when I travel.
So to M83striker - I have LOTS more CDN pennies then the American's here, but I can't see any way to get extra value seperating into individual years. I could easily build full rolls of any given year, but any marginal benefit is not worth the time lost toward the larger goal of buying and sorting out more discounted Cu. And no the 1967 rock dove is not worth more or less then a penny in similar condition from 1966 or 1968.
