Canada 1 Cent Historic Trio — 1907, 1920 Small, 1928 (Ottawa & London mints)

Welcome to Treasure Trades, your premier source for commemorative and collectible coins. This curated 3-coin set unites three cornerstone Canadian bronze cents:

• 1907 Edward VII (KM# 8) — London mint, large cent (25.5 mm, 5.67 g), a sought-after pre-WWI classic with a low mintage of 2,400,000.

• 1920 George V Small Cent (KM# 21) — Ottawa mint, first “small cent” year (19.1 mm, 3.24 g). Reported mintage 15,483,923.

• 1928 George V Small Cent (KM# 28) — Ottawa mint (19.1 mm, 3.24 g), later George V issue with a modest mintage of 9,144,860.

All coins are bronze, round, smooth-edged, with medal alignment. This set captures the type transition from the large cent to the small cent, two monarchs (Edward VII & George V), and two mints (London & Ottawa) — a compact, story-rich addition to any Canadian type, date, or monarch collection.

Act now — one curated set only! Secure this London–Ottawa transition trio today before it’s gone and complete your Canadian bronze type story in a single purchase.

Why this is a smart buy (rarity, mintage, value potential)

• Low mintage anchor (1907 London): With just 2,400,000 struck, the 1907 Edward VII large cent is the rarity driver in this set and a key pre-George V date. Lower supply often supports long-term collectability.

• Historic transition year (1920 Small Cent): 1920 marks Canada’s shift to the small-size cent (approx. 19.1 mm, 3.24 g). First-year type coins attract steady demand from type and date collectors alike. Reported mintage 15,483,923.

• Balanced scarcity (1928 Ottawa): At 9,144,860, the 1928 George V small cent offers a later-period companion with moderate scarcity, rounding out a compelling three-coin narrative set.

• Cross-appeal: Covers two monarchs (Edward VII & George V), two mints (London & Ottawa), and two formats (large vs. small), enhancing liquidity across multiple collector niches.

• Potential appreciation factors: Value is influenced by original surfaces, luster, eye appeal, and grade, plus demand for type/transition sets. As high-quality survivors become scarcer, well-matched sets often gain premium interest. (As always, numismatic markets can fluctuate; purchase what you love.)
