AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 3:33 pm Overpaid for this coin on a hunch that it might be a 7/7. This was not listed in the add but from the picture, I thought I could definitely see doubling on the last 7. I was pleasantly surprised when the coin arrived today. Fills another spot in my set. Also looks like doubling in the 8. What do you think? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 10/07/2015 11:25 pm I agree the 8 also looks doubled, more so on the inside. Report this Post to the Staff

canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 10/10/2015 3:46 pm They're somewhat similar but if you twisted my arm, I'd say the rarest is hi/lo, then the strong R/L, then the weak R/L, as shown below Report this Post to the Staff
AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 10/10/2015 8:41 pm Great pictures canadian-varieties! I'm quickly learning that the varieties are what I'm most interested in. Appreciate the information but please, next time pick mine as the rarest Report this Post to the Staff
AgHoarder Pillar of the Community Canada 818 Posts	Posted 10/10/2015 10:38 pm also, does your version of the "weak R/L" show doubling in the 8 like mine? Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
pfrien Valued Member Canada 127 Posts	Posted 10/11/2015 12:26 am Cool. I just looked at my 1887 and it also has the double 7. Charlton did not have all three varieties and so previously I had not realized it was a 7/7. This example of mine has a crazy looking planchet flaw on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff
