I was reading that these early Canadian cents have a few different varieties, does anyone happen to know which one this might be? Or it is just a plain 1859 cent? Thank you! * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1101 Posts	Posted 06/18/2018 10:04 am There are two types of 9's on the 1859 cents. The wide 9/8 variety had a 9 repunched over an 8 in the reverse dies that produced them. The narrow 9 variety, which is what your coin is, is the more common type. There are 248 different known die pairs of the narrow 9 type. They are listed in Dr. Haxby's on line catalog with many photos to help you identify which one it is. Some have interesting repunched numbers or letters. Here is the link to that catalog. You might enjoy going there and try to figure out which die pair your coin is. www.vickycents.com Report this Post to the Staff
