luthar New Member Canada 8 Posts	Posted 10/06/2026 01:21 am Hello, I was looking at a collection I bought from a succession and I found a weird looking 1926 5-cent. (right in the picture) When put near another 1926 5-cent (left in the picture), it seems there is a slight difference. I'm sure the left one in a Near but unsure about the right one... What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

On the far 6, the line will be close to the bottom of the 6; on the near 6, the line will be well below the 6. Pictures above are not clear enough to do it on them. The far 6 is also closer to the 2, and the rim. Far 6 Near 6 Edited by TerryT 10/09/2026 01:08 am Report this Post to the Staff
