If that's a gVF, Charlton's Canadian catalogue would put it easily around CAD $600  Edited by KurtS

Coindexter, I just made a call on the first coin by Hussulo.  On yours I cannot see the date enough in detail to tell which of 6 types for 1859 would be your penny. Bigger pics would sure help for the "59" in the date. |

Nice grade on that coin! Yours is the "narrow date" variety--see how the 9 is spaced closer to the 5 than the rest of the date? |

Kurt, I thought it was the shape of the nine when they referred to the 'narrow' nine. The loop of the narrow nine is oval where the other nine is more round.  |

Well...my opinions certainly aren't conclusive. From what I've seen the W9 has a very round upper opening. I just thought yours looks closer to my Narrow 9, where the date position was perhaps the "near 9" reverse die:  detail of your coin:  |

Kurt, Confusion reigns supreme. I'm sorry for not being clear. I always thought mine was a narrow nine varity. I was under the impression that the shape of the '9' was the determining factor (that is how my Charlton describes them. Gotta upgrade the reference books  |

wwhitman...no worries! I'm presently looking for a "wide 9" variety, so I was focused on that. Hopefully, I'll have a good find soon...if all works out. |

Here's the "wide 9" variety for comparison--what do you think? (Actually, this is the 1859/8 using a "wide 9", but the 9 is close to the non-overdate variety)  |

Gee, Kurt I think I would have to say it's a wide nine. I had always classified as narrow nine because of it shape. Image: Canada_1859_1CentW9_Rev.jpg40.67 KB |
