Correct on the reverse. Check the die state chart again. which of the 3 obverses is most likely based on the reverse die state? Another example of the die states being very helpful.

Here is the obverse.

Yes. PC59-54a1 is right for this one.

Notice how thick the left foot of the last A of CANADA is. This is a good marker to distinguish 54a from 54b which has a much thinner foot.

One of the easiest ways to identify varieties is with die cracks. Some dies are covered with them like P15 in late states, which is one of my favorites.

Anyone have any nice die crack photos you would like to post?

Tomorrow we will start thread # 3 and concentrate on die cracks for the next few mystery coins.
