As I have your eye now, let's see who has an idea of when and by who this rare coin type was first made known. Not listed in early Charltons, can you believe it's existance was not known by Canadian collectors in the early 1950's!

Yeah,they already had had about 80 years to discover it.
Collectors in previous generations weren't blind or stupid,they just didn't find variations due to a manufacturing process to be very interesting.

This is not a minor variety. Missed in mint reports, it was a major discovery IMHO.

I was reading about the 1873H in a book about Newfoundland coinage that I got from the library. Apparently, these coins were not struck at the Heaton Mint, as the mint mark would suggest, but rather they were struck at The Royal Mint.
