JDRMCB your coin looks like PC59-361 Obv.36 + Rev E37 The 9 should be DP and is in the 65th Edition of the Charlton Standard Catalogue page 291

My last 59er which you have seen on another posting. The best for me so far. PC59-1a1 Bridge Die number 2 Quote:This is the second of the three known "bridge" dies, which struck both 1859/8 and 1859 Narrow 9 cents. In this catalog it is designated Obverse 1a, while in his books Turner calls it OG3. Why use a different name? Careful die state analysis clearly reveals that this die was first used with the Narrow 9 reverse E2 and then the overdate die (Turner RD6) only later, making it unique among the bridge dies. http://www.vickycents.com/obv-o1a.html    Definition of a Bridge dieQuote: A "bridge die" in this context is a die used on both the 1859 narrow 9 reverse and the 1859 over 8 reverse. As you know Obverse and Reverse dies were replaced and used independently of each other, for example a given obverse may have been paired with 2 or more different reverses. In 3 cases that are known at present a given obverse was paired with at least one 1859/8 and at least one 1859 narrow 9. http://www.vickycents.com Ed cheers Don Cheers Don

Here is one that is mis-attributed by PCGS, because it was graded before they recognized this variety.  http://www.victoriancent.com2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Literary Award Winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award Winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca Award Winner. Life Member of RCNA.

Looking forward to seeing these put in properly attributed holders, and seeing your registry set updated bosox!

Here is one more. 1859 TP#2 in a PCGS MS63RB holder as a narrow 9. We included this variety in the 65th edition of Charlton (p293). Not as dramatic as the TP#1, but kinda cool on its own.  http://www.victoriancent.com2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Literary Award Winner, 2020 J.

Ed ... I don't think that it is the same die pair as Rob's. The D/c at 11 is not the same and the TP'd coin is not "common", if you are talking about a 'post' 2 coins above.

I am very partial to both of the triple punched 9 coins I posted. I bought them both in 2004, just after I began seriously studying the provincial cents, which lead to my 1858 book in 2007. They may exist, but I have yet to see a higher graded one of either type. Here was a nice TP#2 that sold to somebody in 2013: http://www.icollector.com/A-RARE-TR...TY_i17488651http://www.victoriancent.com2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Literary Award Winner, 2020 J.

Don't have many Vickies. This is my only 1859. Think it is just a standard narrow 9 with some diecracks.   |
