fourmack Pillar of the Community New Zealand 1679 Posts	Posted 01/28/2017 4:57 pm Another 1 ---but the E this time? Also the last A in Victoria is re punched -Q in Queen Thought's Cheers Don Vickies cents and GB Farthings nut. "Old" is a figure of speech and nothing more Report this Post to the Staff
Phil310 Pillar of the Community United States 1079 Posts	Posted 01/28/2017 5:10 pm I don't have any info on that Don. It just reminded me of the 1881-H spur N large cent. Somebody that's been around here a lot longer than me may be able to find a Griffin # for you. I don't even have any of the Griffin books. Report this Post to the Staff

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 01/28/2017 6:32 pm The reverse "O" in ONE also has a different or doubled look in the above pic. ____________ In my 2nd Edition,..Monograph 1 of the Jack Griffin book, he only mentions the date spacing and the V in Victoria with no mention of our present discussion. Very little info in the Griffin text on the 1871 PEI cent. Report this Post to the Staff

papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1920 Posts	Posted 02/03/2017 12:48 pm Hi Don I think both your coins are the same obverse and believe them to be GR-901g but I'm not sure about the date spacing the write up reads from Griffins book. GR-901g, 8+7 quite close, 7+1 very wide. The date is closer to the beads. The V is recut with slim side, and there is a slim left side to the A. The T is recut, as well as the left top of the R, and the Q of Queen. Rarity 3. This is the only coin that has the V,T,R,A and the Q mentioned together that are recut on the same obverse. The reverse Griffin doesn't mention much on them but I have noticed that spurred N on some coins but not lots nice find I can't see the E very well but it might a clogged die like some of the letters on the 59's I'm not sure Report this Post to the Staff

gidjit Pillar of the Community Canada 1964 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 09:10 am well it has been a few months that I have been searching for this variety since its discovery. I have searched every coin show coin store flea market and online auction and still have not seen any more than the 2 that papeldog and myself have, and I am sure I have looked at several hundreds by now. I'm starting to think it might be quite scarce Report this Post to the Staff
papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1920 Posts	Posted 04/01/2017 11:55 am They do seem to be fairly scarce alright I think I may have found another one in EF condition but the picture provided was very small and hard to make out it seemed the more I blew the picture up the more blurred that area became. It should be here in a few days if it is one I'll post picture's but I have been fooled many times with variety coins here's hoping it is. Happy Hunting Report this Post to the Staff
papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1920 Posts	Posted 04/02/2017 11:48 am I checked all the 1871 PEI pennies at the Vancouver coin show for the N/N but nothing on this variety at the show Report this Post to the Staff

canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 04/03/2017 9:16 pm You can make that #3. Recently acquired on ebay. Looked at about 100 PEIs. My feeling is that the scarcity of this variety is a Sheldon R4. The other 1871 PEI 1c variety (O/O in ONE) is more common. I'd put it at R2 or R3 (probably R3). That one seems plentiful in MS.

bosox Pillar of the Community United States 1259 Posts	Posted 04/04/2017 4:08 pm Here is another one with the re-punched O. The smudge is on the holder. The coin is in the bank vault, so I am not sure if it is the same reverse die as Don's, but it probably is. https://www.victoriancent.com 2011 Fred Bowman Award Winner, 2020 J.
