I am finally getting around to posting my newest additions from Canada. In chronological order:  1859 Large Cent: I wasn't originally planning on getting this type, but figured that an acceptable example couldn't hurt.   1910 10 Cents: I found this type to be difficult to find at a decent price without looking like it was worn to heck. Edward's effigy must have very shallow details.   1920 Small Cent: I really like this one. It is obviously the highest grade of the three and it is like a chocolate brown with flecks of iridescent color all over. Thanks for looking! In Memory of Crazyb0 12-26-1951 to 7-27-2020
In Memory of Tootallious 3-31-1964 to 4-15-2020
In Memory of T-BOP 10-12-1949 to 1-19-2024

I'm a big fan of the 1920 Small Cent.

Beautiful coins. Looking at those almost makes me want to expand my US coin collection to start collecting some Canadian coins! Cheers!

Wow I be-leave the 1859 is a bridge die PC59-23  Please correct me if I am wrong (Phil310) https://www.vickycents.com/obv-o10.html One of five known "Bridge Dies" which struck both 1859/8 and Narrow 9 cents. This die was used first on 1859/8 Cents, then with the E12 and E12a narrow 9 reverses. Turner calls this die OJ1 in his books. Very nice Cheers Don

Nice additions spruett001!
I agree with Don's attribution on the 1859. It is one of the obverse bridge dies!

Definition.
A "bridge die" in this context is a die used on both the 1859 narrow 9 reverse and the 1859 over 8 reverse. As you know Obverse and Reverse dies were replaced and used independently of each other, for example a given obverse may have been paired with 2 or more different reverses. In 5 cases that are known at present a given obverse was paired with at least one 1859/8 and at least one 1859 narrow 9.
