I suspect that ICCS will not as of yet, but CCCS would if you ask.

P.S. Just to make sure we are talking about the same variety, yours should have a die crack and a die chip in the C of VICTORIA. There are other hub doubled 1882H cents with much less doubling than the one in the Charlton catalog.

And to add (and reitterate) what Bosox said about the Obverse. It should be an Obv 2/1, where Vicky will have a smooth rounded chin/throat, but the neck truncation point will be to the left of the bead just above the C in Canada (it will be an Obv 2 truncation). As Bosox said, there are other hub-doubled 1882H's that are not as scarce as that listed in Charlton. Unless someone sprinkled pixie dust on you, I don't think that you have 3 out of 25 .. it would be extremely rare just to have 1.

Bosox, thanks for the info! Two of the three have the die crack and die chip in the C of Victoria, as well as pronounced doubling of the adjacent T. The third has REGINA with doubling but it's more subdued as if it's an early die example.

The third will be a different die, not a different state of the same die. The doubling comes from when the die was made. It does not change as the die ages and wears. Pics would be good.

Here they are. The first example is a little rough. It has some rim and surface damage. Obviously a dug item. But it has the strongest doubling of the three. The second coin is a lower grade and   the die crack on C isn't as robust. The third coin has subtle doubling of the letters of REGINA and the two A's in Canada. |

The first two look to be the one listed in the Charlton catalog. The third is also a known 2 over 1 die, but a different die, one with the denticles also doubled between VICTORIA and CANADA.

Bosox, thanks for the reply! I have many more to check here. You never know what will turn up. I'd like to find one of those single serif on N 1881 pieces but after checking 47 coins so far, not one!

Hi Bosox, can you recommend where I can look for resources (other than coinsandcanada.com and Charltons) for comprehensive coin varieties?
Thx
(sorry this is a little off topic)

Besides what you mentioned Rob Turners 3 books on the Canadian Large Cents are beyond compare. Beware Canadian large cent varieties are addictive.

Zoell catalogs are helpful and so are Jack Griffins writings and Haxby.
