example 1935 us penny = .10 cents
1935 canada penny = .00

First of all the 1935 canadian cent sells for around $1 in grade extra fine. The 1935-S sells for $2.50 in that grade. Canadian coins actually are scarcer than most US coins but not all and sell for less. That is due to fewer collectors in Canada. In fact a large amount of Canadian coin collectors are Americans. I collect the Canadian colonial tokens as well as the coins from the Atlantic maritime’s. One can get scarce Canadian coins at great prices but that is starting to change. One also has to learn which price guides are the closest to reality.
There were 245 million 1935 P, 47 million 1935 D and 38+ million 1935 S Lincoln cents minted. 330 million total. In contrast, there were just over 7 million George V Canadian cents minted.
The only reason the Canada cent isn’t worth more is that there are far fewer collectors of Canada coins.
