okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5584 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 6:20 pm I wonder how many were snuck out the back door of the mint because they don't look like give-away specs? It's surprising that the 1883 actually shows some wear and is a 2/1, so it either circulated or spent a long time in someone's pocket. Report this Post to the Staff

Sid Belzberg Valued Member Canada 50 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 7:50 pm I suspect altered back in the early 20th century when some date collectors were sold these things :-) Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5584 Posts	Posted 01/11/2023 8:33 pm Yeah, I'd go along with altered dates. Some look funny. Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5584 Posts	Posted 01/12/2023 08:16 am You have full rolls of 1883 and 1885 Vicky cents? There were none minted. How long have you had them or is there history to them? Report this Post to the Staff
doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 01/12/2023 09:43 am I agree with the altered date theory. 'Nine' changed to an 'eight'. Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5584 Posts	Posted 01/12/2023 09:49 am Yep, but they did a better job on the '93 than the '95! Report this Post to the Staff
