bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1299 Posts	Posted 09/15/2025 11:50 pm Old 1995 copy of the Charlton Catalogue which I had not seen before. I now own the cover coin. It is an 1881-H specimen cent, Obverse C1A over C1 cent, and is probably unique (the other 1881-H specimens are Obverse 1A). I have never seen another Obverse C1A over C1 in specimen, and I have looked. Published on page 84 of Past & Nearly Perfect. Now in a PCGS SP-65+ RB holder. I don't know who owned it in 1995, but it passed through the Cornerstone Collection to me. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J.

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5460 Posts	Posted 09/16/2025 09:03 am Wow, it's strange how many loose ends end up being tied together. Congrats Rob! That really is a coincidence. I had most of the 90's Charlton, but never paid any attention to the covers. It was such a shot in the dark, maybe you should write a book on them! ...... hmmmmm Edited by okiecoiner 09/16/2025 1:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1096 Posts	Posted 09/16/2025 09:22 am What a nice find! Are there any photo credits in the book? Might give a clue to who owned it back then. Report this Post to the Staff

bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1299 Posts	Posted 09/16/2025 5:05 pm No photo credit. It might have been in the Cornerstone Collection in 1995. They took decades building it. It was part of a full set of 1881-H specimens (1 cent thru 50 cents) they assembled. I was fortunate that the dealer who purchased the set sold me the one cent at the 2019 RCNA in Calgary. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J.

bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1299 Posts	Posted 09/16/2025 10:20 pm Thanks. The book was a labor of love and fun to write. Plus, I got to examine some astounding coins. http://www.victoriancent.com 2011 & 2025 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J. Douglas Ferguson Award Winner, & 2022 Paul Fiocca Award Winner.
