Is that referring to the large date/small date variety? NGC certifies that already I believe.

Devlec: I'll have you know that I have a couple hundred 5 cent silvers laying around, but they are in tubes in a box that I haven't opened in years. The last time they saw light was when Nickelsguy went through some of them at a Torex or Expo and found some dandies that he sold for me. But bronze Vickies stole my heart years ago, so I already have a girlfriend.

This is clearly a major variety in the series. Note that the 5 font is even larger than the font of the "large" digits used for overpunching the date. Once in a while in the Victorian series letter or digit punches normally used for some other country's coinage "cross over" in use. That appears to be what happened here.

I think the five used was the the punch used in the date from the 1858 Twenty Cent dies. |
