The eleventh Uncommon Cents article is now posted in the members section of the RCNA website. This article highlights an 1887 and an 1888 cent that are two of the finest surviving Victorian cents still existing. There is definitely something amazing about 138-year-old bronze cents that look like they were struck yesterday. http://www.victoriancent.com2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Literary Award, 2025 Guy Potter Literary Award, 2022 Paul Fiocca Award, & 2020 J.

I can't wait, Rob for the mag to get to me this month. As always it will be a great read to fill in, or help me remember, some of the salient facts of those denomination. I loaned you some of my coins for the latest work and they always come back to me covered with words. Really looking forward to it.

Again, Rob has delivered a great article, this time on the Canadian 1890 large cent, as part of his "Uncommon Cents" monthly articles in the Canadian Numismatic Journal. This is the 12th article on beginning and follow-thru of the Canada Victoria large cents. The CNJ has them monthly as a mag or from their website that has all articles goin back decades. The photography is outstanding.

I must say that I read your various articles in each new issue of the CNJ with great interest. They're really interesting. I'm sorry if my English isn't perfect... I'm learning a little more every day.

Thanks, guys. I have really liked writing the articles and am glad you enjoy them. It also gives me a chance to share my collection, which usually just sits in the bank vault.

I did not make the RCNA convention this year but was very pleased to hear that Uncommon Cents Article #7 was awarded the Guy Potter Literary Award for the best CN Journal article of 2025. In that article, in addition to describing some 1881-H varieties, I briefly talked about some of the early one-cent variety pioneers. http://www.victoriancent.com2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Literary Award, 2025 Guy Potter Literary Award, 2022 Paul Fiocca Award, & 2020 J.

Congrats, Rob. That was one of my favorite "uncommon Cents" articles that you put out. The 1881's and 2's are a variety hunter/collector's dream because there are so many different marriages because of all the changes from , I guess, month to month. The RCNA should really just dream up a prize for someone who has donated so much time and energy into early Victoria large cents as you have. Fifty years from now, people will have put you into the Zoell, Griffin, Haxby family. I'm glad I got to know you, and sorry we couldn't have met earlier, since we were both in a very small military service at the same time. |
