The 1887 Canada large One Cent coin pictures Queen Victoria facing left. Its composition is bronze. Diameter is 25.4 mm. Weight is 5.67 grams. Mintage was 1.5 Million. Coin enthusiasts like to collect these Canadian large cents. It is a little tougher to find this date because of its low mintage. I am missing this date in my collection. If found, I will be inspecting for two notable varieties. One variety exhibits re-punching at top left of number1, while the other shows re-punching at bottom end of number 7.

I don't know anything yet! Very similar in form, to me, to a Victorian Penny. Thank you !
