Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 06/13/2011 03:06 am A distant relative passed a box of assorted coins to me and it contained quite a few Canadian coins, including a half dozen large cents. This 1859 specimen appears to be in fairly high grade with some hints of luster. The color looks a bit unnatural and there is some unfortunate rim problems. I understand there are a couple of valuable varieties from this year and I wonder if the Canada collectors could attribute this coin. I took a close-up the date area and I would appreciate any comments! I'll post a few more of the better Canada coins as I get to them. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

neweden Valued Member Canada 272 Posts	Posted 06/13/2011 12:27 pm This coin is in very rough shape, it is hard to tell if any variety exists therefore in my opinion I would say it is just the common or garden variety narrow nine. Grade I think is F-12.. Trends for a F-12 narrow nine is $5.50 CDN. But because its pretty beat up I would place its value at no more than 2 bucks canadian, less in US dollars.

snaz Valued Member Canada 351 Posts	Posted 06/18/2011 01:27 am Hey, I would say this is definitely a variety of some sort. It's some sort of a repunch or over 8/9 Try posting it in the variety forum and see if anyone can help you there. There looks like there's something going on for sure with the nob on the 9 Report this Post to the Staff
