Just so everyone is aware, some of these coins are like everything else, made in china.

Another instance of Sinophobia
None of the 25c varieties are made in China.....yet

Yep...seems like there are 2 varieties of 1872 "Bar V"...with repunched N, and without repunched N in CANADA.

...just takes so darn long to get any half decent information into that book :)


Yes and no, it depends how well you know the editor. I find it even harder to get things that are already in there corrected. Have you thought about writing an article for the CN Journal? If something is important enough, to you as a numismatist, then you may have to take that initiative and pen an article. I am sure there are a handful of people here who would be more than happy to review anything Victorian in nature.

I'm surprised you weren't aware of this second type danloss.I guess my hopes of finding more on ebay at rock-bottom prices are over now.Easy to pick out on ebay photos the die crack is a great marker,they seem to appear at about the same frequency as the repunched N types.

Not listed in trends, so is that a bargain at 4K ? Is my vision going, or is that a G4 ?

G4..perhaps a stretch to G6...

I dont blame him for trying. I'd do the same, but only after publishing a book that includes them :)

I'd say calling that coin a barV is a stretch.

Yes I did :)...

but strangely enough, for the last 4-5 months, someone has outbid me on 3 of these...and twice I pushed him into the $200s and still lost...

It looks like I'm not the only one trying to corner the market on these....this coin is my 3rd of the 1874 inverted Vs type :)...
