collector67 Valued Member Canada 252 Posts	Posted 06/21/2013 12:50 am Has anyone ever notice that the 1889 10 cent has 2 different style 9s look at the heritage MS66 example http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleN...#48844884244 and then look at the PCGS examples http://www.pcgs.com/Pop/ValueView.aspx?s=31347 and here's a picture of mine. Thoughts.... It's hard with this coin as there are few examples any comparisons would be helpful Here is a cropped close up of the Heritage Auction piece Edited by collector67 06/21/2013 01:05 am Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 06/21/2013 2:40 pm Nice find! What happened to all the 1889 dimes? How many were actually minted? Of the 600,000 ten cent coins struck in 1889,how many were dated 1888? How many were possibly melted? How many reverse dies were used? Will we ever know these facts about one of the rarest Canadian coins? "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 06/21/2013 2:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff

tfred Pillar of the Community Canada 627 Posts	Posted 06/22/2013 09:12 am MS66 Based on the photos provided alone, the date part only, yours looks much better then the MS66 one. Just to be clear, the bottom photo is the one from Heritage. Is it just me, or does the date look worn. Collector67, can we sees the rest of your coin. Also if I remember correctly, they said there was only one die pairing. So how would they have gotten two different 9's? Edited by tfred 06/22/2013 09:15 am Report this Post to the Staff
collector67 Valued Member Canada 252 Posts	Posted 06/22/2013 10:29 am yes the bottom is the heritage piece, weaker strike. It appears there is was more then 1 reverse die. Report this Post to the Staff

54dollarcoin Valued Member Canada 475 Posts	Posted 06/22/2013 11:10 am The 1889 ten cents is a real mystery coin of the Canadian series. This is a nice find listed on this thread .........good eye! Report this Post to the Staff
collector67 Valued Member Canada 252 Posts	Posted 06/22/2013 11:57 am The Greene-Pittman-Belzberg MS63 on Heritage appears to be the same 9 as the MS66 http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleN...o=6373#Photo Now what call these 9s how does short tail closed 9 sound? Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 06/22/2013 12:55 pm It is the same coin as the EF45. Now the single die theory is out the window. How about tall 9 and short 9? "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
