| unless you want to put a Turner or Haxby number on them. I think, that for the last 20 or so years, it was no longer called a "wide 9", just a 9/8. Why CaC still has the 9/8 in parenthesis, I'll never know. |

| Since the last digit was hand-punched (it took 2-3 whacks), the 9 can be high, a little high, somewhat high, very high ad infinitum. The same goes for the lows and how low is low. And the same goes for far and near and all the verys and somewhats. Why the designation of "low 9" got applied to the 59's is beyond me. The same goes for the 1896 and the description of how far or wide is the 6? The last I knew was that they did away with the designation of the 1896 "far 6", because there were 10-12 positions that the 6 could be, including slants and cants. Don't worry about it, it's lower than the 5. |

| I'm at XF 40/45. I see wear on the monarch and characters/design on the Rev. With a little gunk/grimes in the nooks and crannies, I'd say cleaned at some time in the past, not recent. Too many nicks/dings on the Obv for AU. |

| Out of the thousands of 1859's that I've either had, or looked at during shows/auctions, I never looked for clashes on them. I was just interested in the Reverses, because that's where the varieties I was looking for were located. I can honestly say I'd never seen one with that date, but I ALWAYS looked at the 1881 reverses. Good catch, Scott. |

| Cents are not used at all here in Canada since 2012. Purchases are rounded up or down to the nearest 5 cents, if paying in cash. If you purchase something with a credit card, it's not rounded up or down and it's the exact price to the cent. Most merchants won't take them. Lots of piggy banks up here with money that can't be spent. |
