KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 11/13/2008 12:07 am Tonight I had a wonderful discovery. Looking through some misc. coins this evening, I chanced upon a Canadian large cent that was given to me by a dealer because his shipment was late. It's been sitting around for at least a year unnoticed, until I decided to shoot a picture tonight, and saw something within the H mintmark. Checking my books, I discover this was an RPM, where a large H was punched over a smaller H. It's very distinctive on the coin. Funny how I had written this one in my book to search the show tomorrow, only to find one at home! Edited by KurtS 11/13/2008 12:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 11/13/2008 06:25 am You and your varieties, my friend. I suppose I'll have to drag out my large cents and look for varieties, although I am certain I have the doubled 888 variety on the 1888 coin. Congratulations on your find!

Archraz Pillar of the Community United States 3499 Posts	Posted 11/27/2008 11:45 pm Hey, I just realized that my 1882 H also has a small H under a large one! I wonder just how common this double mint mark is. Everyone, go check your 1882 H Canadian pennies! Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 11/28/2008 12:11 am Cool find Archraz! I considered it scarcer because the two other 1882-H varieties are $7-8 in VF30, but the H/H is listed at $55. This is in Pierre Charest's Canadian coins and die varieties.
