This is the only obverse marker I found on the initial 5/5 that I posted. Looks like obverse 45a but maybe it's an early 80a. I'll try for full photos soon as I get my scope and computer re-adjusted. Sorry. ==  == full pictures ==  ==  Edited by techwriter

...the 20111 Charlton variety section... I'm into varieties in general but am still in need for additional Canadian data: paper books and/or on-line resources which are best known for pricing along with color descriptive photos. Any help here would be appreciated. thx, mdpmedia |

If you are going to colect Victoria Large Cents, copies of the 4 volume set of Rob Turner's books are the place to start to understand it all. Start with the first one, the Provincial large cents. This gives a complete history of how things started for Canada coinage, a complete breakdown of the manufacturing.minting proicess then, and the die hierarchy system on how dies were made and what caused the varieties. Ten, there is a complete die track, with markers for each 1858 Obv & Rev. You can probably shp the Provincial addendum with the 1859/8's and the die tracking section there until you have the other two .. Dies and diadems for a look at a complete overview of all the Vicky obv types and Revs. It also gives a complete rundown of all the 1891 working dies. Then there is the 1890 & 1892 book that gives all the working dies for 90's & 91. There will be one coming out with the 93's 94's & 98's ... and I hope something by another friend with all of the Obv 1 type dates (76-86). For Prices go to the Coins and Canada site or look for what you want in the completed and "sold for" ebay auctions. Just set up your search parameters for the dates/types that you want. |

Building on Doug's comment, sometimes the rarest are not the sexiest, or most popular. Having done the 1858 die catalog, I can say that some very plain dies produced some rare coins. I suspect the same is true in 1859.
As for the DP4, for years there were two different coins in PCGS DP2 holders at 64 Red. I think they have now been moved to DP4 holders.

Now wouldn't that be grand to have a link to those 2 DP4 cent photos..They are probably an earlier strike and the 9 will show better.. bosox..If you have a photo of yours,..why not post it here..? You know we always like to see your special and rare toys.. |

One of the 64 reds is in the Willamette collection. You can see the pics on the PCGS registry. I have not photographed mine. It is 63 brown. Happy Thanksgiving.

DEVLEC, I believe 'out of this world' is too tame, I think 'incredibly awesome' would better describe it. What a beauty!!
