EastVanRob Pillar of the Community Canada 617 Posts	Posted 06/08/2012 2:34 pm I'm no expert, but this coin looks similar to the wide date shown in the Charlton catalogue. Of course, since the last digit was added by hand to each die, there will probably be as many different varieties as dies. Report this Post to the Staff
dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 06/09/2012 3:44 pm Charlton impies all the narrow date are repunched 5/5. The above doesn't look like a repunch, so that would lead to a wide date variety. Both 5/5 repunch varieties look like a left shift from an existing 5, thus it appears the repunch may be what causes the narrow date variety. Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 06/09/2012 11:40 pm Charlton lists a non-repunched narrow date,as well as the two repunches.EastVanRob offered the best advice when he said: Quote: since the last digit was added by hand to each die, there will probably be as many different varieties as dies.
