Question About Charlton And Haxby 1859 9/9 Large Cent Tough Varieties

Okiecoiner

Thanks Bill for the generous offer.

p.s. fyi. I drove my HT2 Hummer to Toronto. And what a mess.

A week earlier I drove from SW Florida to NW Pennsylvania to visit my brother.
Upon arrival I mentioned I would be attending a coin show in Toronto in a week.
My brother inquired if I had my passport with me. Nope, I never had one; I though
all I needed is a valid DL. He said since 9/11, passports are required. I immediately
went to the post office to apply for one. They said I needed to provide a copy of my
birth certificate. Ugh...That is locked in a safety deposit box in Naples, Florida.
I had to drive to Erie, Pa. and obtain a duplicate. The next day I returned to the post
office and completed the forms and then was informed it would take 6-8 weeks to arrive.
I needed it in 6 days. They provided a telephone number of an outfit in DC which would
walk the paper work through and that I should get it in 6 days. I called the number and
paid a $450.00 fee for their service. I made the trip to Toronto in time.

That was an unexpected dent in my coin budget, but I still picked up some goodies. These
were a Copper Company of Upper Canada Pattern in Aluminum and an 1894 ICCS MS-65 large Cent.
The 1894 was in an older holder and unattributed as a 'fat' 4 variety. I suspect this to be
the finest known of this type. But, the best was finally meeting some of you face-to-face.

Of the few that remain for Doug to acquire, I am also missing all of his except for the F2 and the J3a.

I'm also missing another ~100 vanillas that he does have..so I've got a very long way to go.

I find it a big enough challenge to find all the DP9's in the back of the 2011 book and other re punched 9's that never made the book because they weren't as a dramatic re punch of the 9 and not enough room to add them all as limited space was provided in the book at the time.

I'm still missing a few in the book but I set my grade to try and collect VF-30 to MS coins I prefer AU and better EF is ok if its not scratched up and rim dings. I'm still missing the coins on pages 282, 284, 289, 290.
I have several Haxby #'s but only from coins I had or purchased on ebay in lot bids or auctions I don't really target them as I do follow them and collect as they come along.
Great reading this post thanks for sharing I would show some of mine but bought and moved in a new house last spring and still haven't set up my scanner up yet but working on it maybe soon.

I think Brad had a nice picture of the J3a on his dp59 web page when it was still available to view

I have one J3a that I got recently. I don't have any photos of it yet, but I will try to take some and post them here in the next couple of days.

Here is my list of what I am missing from the Haxby catalogue...

With the one's that I'm missing and what colonialtokens has
this might give you a rough guess of what could be more scarce!

Viper: I don't collect Haxby #'s, but I did loan 1000 or so to him befopre he wrote the study. He marked numbers on the envelopes before he returned them. If the #'s are the same, then I have 651, 671, 482, 351, & 291. Tell me in email what to look for for each and I'll see if they are the same.

Addendum: The numbers that viper gave me don't match the numbers on the coin envelopes, so I guess it was a false alarm.

and some more
very very nice
