His one-cent varieties look to be selling very well at the RCNA auction. The 1881 SSN was the star and went for $5,500 CAD, plus $1,072.50 in juice, and likely another $825 in GST. $7,400 CAD for a PCGS VF-30. It is a very scarce coin and has been largely underestimated by both Trends ($1,500) and Numicanada/Coinsandcanada (about $650) for a long time. I bid early on it but dropped out way before the end. Also, the 1893 TP9 in PCGS in 63 Brown went for $3,500 CAD ($4,707). The 1858 FV in AU-53 went for $1,500 CAD ($2,018). Strong prices IMO. http://www.victoriancent.com2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Literary Award, 2025 Guy Potter Literary Award, 2022 Paul Fiocca Award, & 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award. Life Member of RCNA.

Wow, Rob. Didn't I sell you one (not that grade) for substantially less? I just think that Canadian Vicky cents are appreciated much more now, when we all started posing scarcities 25 years ago. I forgot to say in my post that I got a very fair/good price for the one that I sold to Rob. And I agree that demands for scarce Vicky cents have greatly appreciated in the last 10/15 years.
And I'll bet demand was torched off by when the 5/6 of us wrote the Vicky variety section for large cents in the back of the Charlton 65th edition.

Bill, yes, I bought a raw one from you ten years ago for less. Given the lesser demand for it at that time, it was a very fair price. During those ten years, I think demand for them has skyrocketed with almost no increase in supply, or at least in problem-free examples that would make it into a PCGS holder.

Thank you bosox, for the early bid and the congrats. I did do very well on most of the large cents I entered in the auction. The one that really shocked me was lot # 500 I didn't think that many people knew of it 1882 with extra denticles from first part of Victoria - CAN in Canada went for $1,314.00 with taxes and commissions in AU-55. That coin I bought from okiecoiner

Conversely, I think your 1882-H TDO should have gone higher. Problem free examples are very, very scarce.

Thank you all for the kind words, yes I'm very happy with the results and hopefully help put a brighter light on Canadian Large cent variety collecting. I agree Rob I sold a couple lower graded 82's TDO in an earlier auction that went cheap as well, they are starting to collect interest but like you mention very hard to find. The Bead punch 88 did better than any other I put in auctions so maybe they are being recognized as a collectable variety coin. Over all I'm a happy camper
