1989 Canada 1-Cent Maple Leaf Penny Proof-Like (PL) Coin

Description

Close out the decade with a masterpiece of Canadian minting. This 1989 Proof-Like (PL) Canadian Penny represents the pinnacle of 1980s copper coinage. Struck with the Royal Canadian Mint’s signature collector finish, this specimen offers a sophisticated, mirror-like quality that makes the classic twin maple leaves truly “pop.”

As the final year of the 1980s, the 1989 PL cent is a favorite for those completing “Decade Sets” or specialized small cent collections.

Key Highlights:

• Stunning Reflectivity: Mirror-bright fields that provide a beautiful contrast against the satin-finished maple leaf design.

• The Iconic Dodecagonal Shape: Features the beloved 12-sided rim, providing that unique tactile and visual “edge” that defined the era.

• Exceptional Strike: High-pressure dies ensure every detail—from the date to the Queen’s jewelry—is rendered with absolute precision.

• Copper Richness: Composed of 98% copper, giving it that heavy, high-quality feel and a deep, radiant orange-red glow.

Specifications:

1989 was a high-production year for circulation, but finding a PL specimen free of carbon spots and milk spots is a win for any collector. This coin has been carefully stored to preserve its original mint luster.
