Canadian Large pennies

Can anyone tell if there is any value in the large Canadian pennies? I have quiet few of them. Some are even from the 1800's.

Excepting some of the more obscure varieties of specific dates, most are affordable. Besides that, they're just fun to collect. Not necessarily a booming market for these, so most dealers will heavily discount their stock (assuming they haven't moved in quite awhile).

Spend a little time learning how to grade these. A couple grades higher may be purchased for a lower grade price if you know the wear points on the obverse and reverse.

Happy hunting.

I have never seen any albums for them. Where are the best places to purchase them?
