mmorgan22 Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 01/26/2013 7:12 pm Would this be the small or large 99 type? I'm pretty sure it is the large 9's type. I just want confirmation. Also, what do you think it would grade (without the hole of course)? Edited by mmorgan22 01/26/2013 7:28 pm Report this Post to the Staff

glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 02:50 am Large 9, unfortunately in the 19th Century and early 20th century it was quite common place for hunters and trappers in the northern parts of Canada to make holes in coins. It was done so coins could be carried via a string attacked to their waist or around their neck. This is a very difficult coin (variety) to acquire in grades above VF-20 and seldom seen in AU. I've had an I.C.C.S. AU-55 that looks identical to that piece (but without the hole of course)that I've been trying to upgrade for the past 10 years to an MS-63, but no avail.

mmorgan22 Pillar of the Community United States 570 Posts	Posted 01/27/2013 1:13 pm Thanks for the help everyone! I just wanted to make sure that it was the large 9's. When I got this coin it was attached to a small bail with an 1899 5 cent in about the same condition. Report this Post to the Staff
