yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 1:48 pm Recently dug this penny out of my file. My camera is not available, so used an old (poor) camera. Still, the 5 is clearly quite different. There are three areas that stand out, the inside bottom curve, the top of the curve, and clear doubling on the ball of the 5. Has anyone seen this 5 before?

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 3:36 pm I agree with the DP#4. You should have a nice die crack from the tip of the 7th leaf to the denticle. They (the 4's) are hard to find. Leaf 1 is at about 12:30 and just above the right upright of the N. Count clockwise from leaf 1 and leaf 7 ia at about 4:00 Edited by okiecoiner 01/09/2022 6:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 01/09/2022 4:38 pm Thanks! This is the first one that has really stumped me. Even in these terrible coin photos I can easily see the die crack at leaf 7. And you're right, I never have found a DP#4 - till now. Oh well, better than none. I appreciate the help.
