Near-flawless surfaces with sharply struck features and attractive crimson color. None have been certified finer by ICCS (4/0)." Canada, after issuing large cents 1858-1920, converted to small cents nearly identical to U. S. cents. This design, with the head of George V, was struck 1920-36 and the 1928 is common.
