I too was pleasantly surprised with the loon error... I tested that coin with my XRf a couple years ago, it was pretty cool. Quote:

I picked up a 1935 silver dollar. My first silver dollar business strike that I plan on keeping. Only had PL/SP before.
I too was going for that loon error but it went way too high for my budget. I'm glad to know there are more out there :)

I heard there was an 1883 obv 4 5 cent piece in VF 30. Anyone know if that sold?

There was an obv 4 in F that didn't sell. The VF30 is obv 5 sold for 177 +tax. Not sure if it was annotated wrong and should be an obv 4. I'm not too familiar with 5 cent pieces

The thick 4 in 64 is not the finest known. I have a 65RB in a PCGS holder, as yet unattributed as a thick 4. I do not own it, but there is also another 81 micro D in an ICCS 63 red holder.

BTW I am the owner of the ICCS MS63 micro D. I viewed yours at the auction preview and....no disrespect...I do like mine better. Mine has really nice lustre. That being said I agree with Devlec that you got a great deal. I was kind of hoping it would sell for a lot more given my vested interest.
If anyone wants to make me an offer I can't refuse I am always willing to listen. That being said, I think this is one of the two coins that came from my grandfather (who had a CNA membership number with a single digit) that I will pass on to my kids. The other one is a 1942 cent struck on a cupro nickel planchet that appeared in the CNA journal a few years ago. I don't think that the kids will care about coins in general but I think they might keep one special thing each.

I apologize, I should have said, "among the finest known"... To put things in perspective, however... a top 5 POP 50c 1870 no LCW will set you back $20,000+ a top 5 POP 25c 1906 small crown will set you back $10,000+ a top 5 POP 10c 1858 8/5 will set you back $10,000+ a top 5 POP 1c 1881H micro D will set you back $750 ($905 with juice) a top 5 POP 1c 1894 thick 4 will set you back $500 ($604 with juice) very undervalued IMO  That was my point   Edited by canadian-varieties

Perhaps these varieties will just never catch on.
Look at Newfy coins.
Just being 'rare' doesn't mean 'value'
I could make a sketch of a potted plant that would be a one-of-a-kind, but I wouldn't be able to get $5 for it.

I agree with CV. The values will converge over time.
I think that there are for more large cent collectors than 5 cent collectors. The problem with large cents is that there are SOOOO many varieties. Hard to know where to focus.
In contrast, it seems to me, that in quarters the small crown is kind of a stand alone as a notable variety. Reminds me of the UK 1926 penny varieties.

I have about 300 "major" varieties identified for the 1858-1936 era: 1. 100 1 cent varieties 2. 100 5 cent varieties 3. 100 10, 25, 50 and $1 varieties I'd say thanks to the 2011 Charlton variety section, most of the large cent varieties are quite well known. But many remain very undervalued in MS. It's a fantastic time to buy though  Edited by canadian-varieties

There were a number of lots that captured my interest but in the end I bought only the Newfoundland 1872H 50 Cent ICCS AU-50. I attend a number of Ontario shows each year and I always wonder how many of you I walk past or am next to at a dealer table.
