Obone2003 Valued Member Canada 60 Posts	Posted 06/23/2020 11:13 am Hi Everyone, I recently won this 1875 5 cent in an European auction, with no description as to the variety. I bid according to the price of a small 5, but when I just got it today, it looks like a large 5? It has no distance between the bottom line of the 5 and the curve? Does anyone know more about the variety, and could let me know as to which one it is? Thanks in advance Report this Post to the Staff

I suggest you study this comparison: https://www.coinsandcanada.com/coin...ts-1858-1901 To me, the biggest visual that I see is the shape of the right top shape of the horizontal part of the 5, as well as the 5 being lower than the 187..

Talonbat Valued Member Canada 395 Posts	Posted 06/28/2020 12:56 pm The variety is a large date vs a small date. It's not just about the 5. From the limited amount I can see it looks like a small date. I find this is a much easier variety to see looking at the whole coin as the large date really looks completely different as a whole side by side with a small date coin. Report this Post to the Staff
