JDRMCB Pillar of the Community United States 616 Posts	Posted 02/16/2015 10:44 pm Yup, the obvious shifting on the stem of the R in GRATIA is the main PUP for the DP9 #3. Correct me if I'm wrong, but to date, obverse die #73 has only been found paired with reverse die P12 and the scarcer reverse die P12a(DP9 #3)? Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5593 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 06:01 am There is also, normally, a nice die crack from the denticle through the tip of leaf 1 and then to the bead. Easy to see when there is gunk in the letters and digits. Report this Post to the Staff

gidjit Pillar of the Community Canada 1980 Posts	Posted 02/17/2015 11:00 pm i noticed this one has a repunched 9, I'mtrying to figure out if its the one from 2011 charlton pg 293 what do you think? and if ya know the haxby # I would love to hear it Edited by gidjit 02/17/2015 11:04 pm Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5593 Posts	Posted 02/18/2015 04:18 am It is not the one on p 293. Since every 1859 working die was made from an 1858 matrix with the 8 ground off and then the 9 handpunched into each individual working die (well over 200 of them), EVERY 1859 is technically a repunched 9. Since it takes 2-4 whacks with the hammer and punch, with annealing and hardening days or weeks apart between whacks, the 9's inbedded into each working die were far from perfect. In my variety collection, I have to have at least 15 different types of coins that have visibly offset punches on the knob of the tail. For using the 2011 Charlton variety section as any kind of guide, your coin in hand has got to be EXACTLY the same as the one in the book and one of the first things to look at is the vine break at 7.

gidjit Pillar of the Community Canada 1980 Posts	Posted 03/12/2015 8:04 pm i believe this one to be haxby pc59-441 but with what I think is a cracked planchet! the crack can be seen through both sides of the coin,,, I dont think I have had one like this, is it worth a premium?

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5593 Posts	Posted 03/13/2015 05:18 am You mean a premium for the crack or for the die? I think neither. Report this Post to the Staff
gidjit Pillar of the Community Canada 1980 Posts	Posted 03/13/2015 4:51 pm i meant the crack that goes through the coin. from the bottom of the n in cent past the 5 and out to the bottom of the coin and the same crack on the obvers from center of coin through middle a in Canada Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5593 Posts	Posted 04/05/2015 07:59 am The #3 is one of my favorites of all the '59's Report this Post to the Staff
aardspeed Pillar of the Community 921 Posts	Posted 04/06/2015 3:47 pm Here is a pic of my 1859 one cent penny, but notice it is really thin...Could this be from wear or could it be thin from the mint? Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5593 Posts	Posted 04/06/2015 9:03 pm aardspeed: The 1859's were 1/3 thinner than the Brit half penny. Starting with the next mintage in 1876, The Royal Mint made them the same size as the Brit halfpenny and everyone was happy. The 1859's were made so that 100 made a pound and each coin was also exactly 1 inch in diameter, but the populace didn't like them because they were so light and thin. Your coin is also a bit worn so it will be even thinner than when minted, but the main reason was that it was 1/3 thinner to start with than the rest of the large cent dates by design.
