Double J Valued Member Canada 409 Posts	Posted 12/31/2023 01:44 am Thought it was the 5 in the date they were referring to from Coins and Canada no? If it's the 5 as in 5 cents I can retake a photo of it. It's there albeit hard to see...but I wasn't really looking at that 5. Report this Post to the Staff
Double J Valued Member Canada 409 Posts	Posted 12/31/2023 02:05 am I just did a search on Google which brought me to another thread on this forum examining it differently. I'd still like confirmation cause obviously there's a difference in rarity. But the thread said the large 5's back goes straight up and down and the small 5 leans to the right. Also said the small 5 could fit between the 5 and the 8 if duplicated. So in that case mine would be small. Coins and Canada's didn't explain. Just showed images of the coins and all the smalls you can see a gap between the tail of the 5 and the body...where the large all appear to touch the body as is the case with mine.

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9875 Posts	Posted 12/31/2023 2:47 pm You are confusing large and small date varieties with large and small 5 varieties. The 5 referred to is the denomination 5. All large date varieties are repunched dates, yours does not appear to be so. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 12/31/2023 2:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
