DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/05/2017 5:49 pm 71a1.......... ..but I didn't pick up on the doubling of the "N" in CANADA.. Quick fine tuning... 1..a small d/c in the "D" in CANADA.. 2..a small d/c in the middle of leaf 8..noted start on the left side of the rim denticle and then into the 8 and a turn to the right.. 3..a quick confirmation with the stem of leaf 9.. ..doesn't take long to search out using this method.. .

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/05/2017 10:02 pm I haven't been chiming in much because they're either very easy - as this last one was - or I was completely stumped, as many have left me. Report this Post to the Staff
fourmack Pillar of the Community New Zealand 1679 Posts	Posted 09/05/2017 10:41 pm SsuperDdave Just have a guess --- as it can be hard ---start with the die cracks and work from there to leaf 9 Cheers Don Vickies cents and GB Farthings nut.

PC59-75a1 in just about terminal state. The only reason I cannot immediately attribute every coin you're posting has more to do with personal failings of observational technique than anything else. JHax has created the finest and user-friendliest issue attribution website on the Internet. The Early US Dollar attribution site affiliated with the Cardinal Foundation, and Osborn and Cushing's Seated dollar site, are the only other attribution aids I can recall which are so comprehensive and easy to use. Vickycents.com is a monumental and seminal work, and deserves far wider recognition than it receives. It ought to be the prototype - especially the "ID by Obv and Rev Markers" sections - for everything which follows. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10463 Posts	Posted 09/06/2017 10:09 am I agree with you Superdave, in fact I had dedicated an entire month's RCNA column to that website, with Jim Haxby writing a good portion of the column. I can ask the RCNA editor to see if I can report the entire article here.

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/07/2017 10:30 am I like the fact that the Haxby example of the latest 59 also shows the wonderful Obv clash.. Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/07/2017 10:53 am That one was fun. 801, 80-3 + P18-3, I think? Report this Post to the Staff
DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/07/2017 2:07 pm Unfortunately,.. I started at the wrong end of the Haxby #'s..(ie: I11,..11,..1a1,..G41.......etc.. ...so I was at this one all night..and then 801 finally came up....and bingo... Report this Post to the Staff
Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1224 Posts	Posted 09/07/2017 3:51 pm If you first determine what group it falls into in this case "P" group then go to the most pronounced D/C this case L11 you will bring your choices down to just six possibilities.

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 09/07/2017 4:24 pm It's interesting how the very few of us here that are actually participating in this search use slightly different methods to come to the same final conclusion.. I always start with the obverse... Report this Post to the Staff
