I purchased this coin a couple of weeks ago on e-bay just arrived today in the mail. I know its a common 1891 LL/LD but this is one that I have never seen or herd of before for this reason I purchased it I didn't like the heavy S/H charges that come with it. This coin has no bottom serif's on either N's on the Obverse. I have never seen one with no bottom serif on the N in Canada before this one.    I looked through Bosox book Dies & Diadems unless I missed it in the book its not listed anywhere that I can find. Has anyone else ever seen or come across one like this with no serif N in Canada |

You mean like this 1 check your 1 on the date Also Quote The reverse most likely is R1O-L6, the only one I found paired to this obverse die. Since this reverse has no die cracks, only a photo overlay can positively ID it, but I feel confident it is R1O-L6. die cracks around legend, N in REGINA, I spent some time with his pictures. The first one is O2S-L4 (note the little chip on the top of the E in DEI). His is a much later die state than the one I available to photograph for the book, so his die cracks are more advanced than my photos showed.    Cheers Don

IMO papeldog's coin is from reverse die R10-L13. The date spacing is close to that of L6, but a photo overlay sorts them out. In the book I found it married to an unidentifiable obverse die (no distinguishing features). I think papeldog's merely had a little grease in the serif of the N in CANADA when struck.

Thanks for your input and conformation on the die and coin Bosox. I thought maybe clogged die, nice of you to confirm this and satisfy our minds

If you think about how dies are made, if the N in CANADA broke off the punch, it would show on any die sunk after that by that punch. Unless it broke on the very last die sunk, or they re-punched every subsequent die to hide the damage, we would see more of these.
That is what happened with the N in REGINA. The serif broke on the punch, resulting in many such dies.

I posted this same coin on another coin site asking about the N's with the same answers about the N in Canada being a clogged die at the serif, but another collector noticed the multi punched rim at the top of the coin.
I was so hung up on the no serif N's that I missed the rim, so what would you call this type of coin with multi punched rims any thoughts
