Yes nancyc !!
I agree with you : the field of errors and vatieties ( not yet completely discovered ) is full of surprises !
The chance to discover real rarities is there, and the pleasure too !
You are not odd at all : I think that this hunt is a "sweet madness". More, I see, with pleasure, that this "disease" become more and more contagious !

Today, with the data that I have obtain from numicanada, canadiancoin and on this site, the final result is :
19/1535 = 1.24 % for the variety Far 2
In my book, this variety is scarce.
Thank for your contribution !

It appears that there really aren't many collectors of Canadian 5ΒΆ coins. I think you would find that there are a fair number of collectors of Canadian 5 cent pieces just not a lot of collectors of the many vvarieties... having said that I do follow these threads and if someone is kind enough to post pictures I do begin to keep my eyes open. I don't specifically set out to find the vvarietybut if I run across an older coin I will check and see if a variety exists for that coin for what it is worth that is my 5 cents worth  |

Hi guppie1160,
If a collector search the 5 cents 1926 Far 6, I suggest him to search too the 5 cents 1932 Far 2 : I think that these two coins have the same rarity !

After reading this thread I looked through two rolls of 32 I had in the bottom of an airtight storage bin and not a thing came up. Funny part is there's a lot of 30 and 31 rolls but only 2 32 rolls. I know I have more but I have no idea where I might have put them.

hhbkiddo,
Re. popularity :
The 5 cents 1926 Far 6 was listed in book's Charlton before 1960.
The 5 cents 1932 Far 2 is not yet listed in book's Charlton, in 2011, and no more in the Trends of CCN.
This fact explain the low popularity of 5 cents 1932 Far 2. I have seen this coin, for the first time, in 2007, in the Charest's book.

I have tried, tried and tried... without success, even sent proof positive to the powers there...
the response: a die problem. happens all the time..
I am just curious how much one has to pay... to get a variety recognized or to get into charlton?
I have supplied the actual coins, one of each, the different one and the regular coin...
It is so obvious that a blind person could feel it....
Negative response...
question is WHY ?/
beatys me... have given up
I brought up the issue in another forum....
everyone was astonished and could not understand it.
It is a difference where you need both coins to see it instantly... it is a 1964 20C NB.

(1) The 1926 near is a semi-key in its own right. The mintage for both was only 933,577
(2) Going by the stats above (1.2%) then of the 3,198,566 1932s minted, 31,985 are this variety.
za75: Charlton lists near and far rims (S in CENTS near or far from rim) for 1932. What is the split for your variety?

The powers that be don't decide what we collect. We do.
If people become interested, then this variety will appear, in time. What's the rush? It's being out there for almost 80 years. :)

dialog_gvf,
1- Many 5 cents 1932 were lost or melted, since this date and many of these coins have not survived. So, the situation is very different for the 5 cents 1926 Far 6, and the mintage of 5 cents 1932 is not the single factor to be take into consideration !
2- The near rim and far rim, for 5 cents 1922,1929,1932,1934 and 1936, listed in Charlton and in the trends, are very differents and have very little interest for collectors, because near rim and far rim are not only common but plentiful. Following this, I cannot understand for why the near rim and far rim were listed !
3- People cannot been interested by a variety that is not known : the 5 cents 1932 Far 2 was listed for the first time in 2007, in the Charest's book.
If you have no interest for this new variety ( one of them was certified by CCCS ), no problem, but some collectors can be interested.
Have a good day !
