Titles are Important! * Here's a 1859 with a well placed die clog making the "I" in REGINA look more like a one. This die clog is not reported on the Haxby site but this coin is in a earlier die state then the state 2 shown on the site. State two should have a die crack at leaf #6, #7 & leaf #14, this coin has no die crack at leaf &6 and only a faint die crack at leaf #14. I realize this is minor but I thought it was cool so I decided to share. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 04/16/2020 8:39 pm To me it looks like that "I" in regina was re-punched, I could be wrong but it looks to be up higher than the rest of the devices and somewhat crooked IMO.

JohnWayne007 yes the "I" is definitely re-punched and is the main marker for this Obverse Die. Cheers, Bill Edited by Hounddog Bill 04/17/2020 12:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5591 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 12:41 pm OK, I see the vine break in the magnified version. It's still a very early strike in the mintage year.... I think that the vine broke off chips of the hub at least 3-4 times until it reached its widest gap after the one on leaf 2 opened up all the way. Report this Post to the Staff
papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 04/17/2020 12:41 pm I took a look through the 1859's that I have, I don't have that Haxby die but have others with the same DP I. None look like this one with the clog where it is.I think it looks like a 1 also nice find Bill Edited by papeldog 04/17/2020 12:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
