Turns out what I thought was a 1 cent Candian coin, is actually an 1858 Canadian Ten Cents coin! Pleasant surprise!
Very nice score !!!!
Depending on the condition it might be worth a nice amount -

and if it's an error coin then likely even more -

A 5 was struck over the first 8 which was defective. The top of the top of the 5 clearly appear at the top of the 8.
