That's actually a fairly scarce anomaly... some would call it a variety. It's called "the 1919 apostrophy 9"

If you gently use a Q Tip with the acetone you can get the green goo out of the denticles without doing any harm.

BEAUTY!
Excellent example. This is a variety.
I just dont like the name "apostrophe 9"....I'd prefer "dot 9"

Nice. My area doesn't have any "junk" bins.

Early on, before the crack widened and you could only see little more than the chip, it looked exactly like an apostrophe, hence the name.

Here's a link to a previous post on this coin. https://goccf.com/t/245438#245438The 1919 pictured in the link is an earlier die state then yours and similar to what Okie is referring to. I also have one in same die state as yours and another in a later die state. In the later die state the crack that you see running between the "A" & "N" in Canada will advance into the "N" and become thicker resembling a chip. Not sure about the description above so I included a photo for clarity. You've got a very nice example of a fairly tough coin to find. Definitely a keeper. Congrats! Cheers, Bill  |

Found another apostrophy cent today at the Oshawa show. Told the dealer it was worth more than the $1 he was asking, but he said that it's still a dollar, so I told him about it and gave him a loonie .. he wouldn't take more.
