5 Cents 1932 ( Varieties : Far 2 And Near 2 )

Nice find o train!
Will you post a photo of the s in cents?

ArchW, to this topic : " 5 cents 1932 ( Varieties : Far 2 and Near 2 ) ".

If you check, on page 25 of this topic, the pics of coins Far 2 of Canadian Beaver Hunter and o-train, you will see that your coin 1932 is a pattern of the variety Near 2 ( 2 near the leaf ). When the coin is very used, it is important to put the line on the extremity of the leafs .

See also the following points to identify more easily the varieties Far 2 and Near 2 :

- on the coins of CBH and o-train, the 2 is near 3 and the 2 is near rim. : so these coins are patterns of the variety Far 2.

- on your coin, the 2 is far 3 and the 2 is far rim : so your coin is a pattern of the variety Near 2.

I think that the Far 2 is also a far S from the rim, but the distance of the S from the rim is not an item that I retain to identify the variety Far 2.

If I get a chance I'll post more pictures. I brought the coin to the ONA show today and a guy put it under a microscope. He said it is probably an F-10. I tried finding more but no luck.

Good morning ArchW,

The trade names Far 2 and Near 2, for the varieties of 5 cents 1932, are the same that were used with the varieties of 5 cents 1926, Far 6 and Near 6.

Maybe the real name could be " 2 far from the right leaf ", but I think that this is too long for the inscribing in the books.

On the other hand, my references to 2 near 3 and 2 near rim are only some additional indications to identify easily the variety 5 cents 1932 Far 2.

I refer you to the Charlton's book, 61sh Edition, at the end of page 63 : you will find an explanation for the varieties of the 5 cents 1926 and I believe that this explanation is the same for the varieties of the 5 cents 1932.

Good morning ArchW,

Sorry if I don't understand very well your commentaries : my english is poor !

1- In your post, 04/20/2013, you say :

" Georges V, 5 cents, from 15 coins;
1931,1932,1934 - below the line. ( Low )
1924, 1928, (2)1929, 1930,1935, 1936 - touch the line.
1927, (2)1930, (2)1936 - above the line. "

and you present a photo of 5 cents 1932, where the date ( 1932 ) touch the line : I don't understand this.

You can see, in the 26 pages of this topic that all collectors, and me too, have used the line only to explain, to fix clearly the difference between the Far 2 and the Near 2 of the 5 cents 1932. We have not use the line with others dates and I don't see the opportunity to proceed like this.

2- In your post, 04/22/2013, you say:

" There is a standard for grading coins, if there is a standard for describing them, I have't seen it. "

I don't understand your commentary : " ..standard for grading coins ". For me, I don't see a standard of grading when we use the line but an easy method to see the difference between a Far 2 and a Near 2, on 5 cents 1932.

With this method, I have obtain without identification's error, in the last trend, from members of this site and from members of Numicanada, the following result : 34 "Far 2" and 4318 "Near 2", with 4352 exemplaries of 5 cents 1932.

Best regards.

Bm0ney, I agree CCCS did a good job at naming this variety.

I was a bit confused with the 'near' vs. 'far' for the 1932. I know the 'near' and 'far' variety for 1926 refers to the distance that the '6' is from the leaf. But in the years 1922, 1929, 1934, & 1936 there is a 'near' and 'far' variety that refers to the distance from the top tail of the 'S' in cents from the rim.

It may be more correct to call them convex or concave field.
