1893 Flat Top 3...real Or Fake?

Hi,

Coinsfactswiki.com states the following about this coin:

'For the 1893 ten cent pieces, the "flat top 3" is scarce, the "round top 3" is rare, being the key to the Victorian dimes.'

Excuse me for my ignorance on this subject matter but is the above statement implying that this 'flat top 3' variety is less commonly found (compared to the round top version) for only this type of coin thus commanding a higher premium?

Also what other Canadian coins exhibit this 'flat or round top' issue also commanding significantly higher premiums compared to what is considered the normal strike etc...?

I am just curious if this varies depending upon the coin in question.

Thanks,

Tough to tell from the pics.

Slight chance of being a fake.

More likely though a genuine yet overdipped coin, stripped of its lustre.
