Two 1909 retailer Canadian 1 cent coins found in Bank Renovation one was near uncirculated never cleaned the other is Good condition

Two 1909 large 1 cent coins found while renovating an old Bank of Canada building
the first coin Greening due to dampness I expect is very crisp. The coin likely was Uncirculated
when it was first misplaced. The second was lightly circulated and still in very good condition
easy to read

Uncirculated 1909 Canadian Large 1 cent coins can demand up to over $500 retailer Canadian by Numismatic
grading. Unfortunately the Uncirculated coin will need to be cleaned to brighten it again
which will devalue the coin anyway.
I do not clean old coins

The one coin is still $60 to $90
the other about $40

asking $85.00 for both

You can make money on these if you take them for a professional to clean carefully without scrubbing
