He also showed me a 1964 Canadian Half penny. So how many were minted and how much is it worth?

There's no such coin. Canada hasn't used half-pennies since before the time of Confederation.

This should help you a little bit .

It's a real nickel, and it's either:

plated with a minuscule amount of gold by a private company. You can find them being sold in sets along with the Louisiana Purchase nickel of 2004, in regular, silver plated and gold plated. for $10. That's a buck something per coin (asking price, not actual sold price), but the amount of gold on one is a few cents worth at the most.

Or just a plain nickel that has been exposed to some environmental agent that altered the color. This would be worth face value.



oop's Digger got the link posted before I posted the info so his answer for the nickel is the same as the info I posted . sorry about the double.

It is actually from Great Britain not Canada sorry.

Britain minted 78,583,000 1964 half pennies. value is .20 cents in extra fine condition. Uncirculated is @ $1. WOLF
