1859 Canadian Cent - Inverted V For A In Regina

Hi,
I agree with you on that pint, this is not the first variety I've come across and I'm positive this is due to a filled die in that part of the legend. If you look on the reverse, there are similar breaks in the vines and "floating" leaves that do not connect to the vines. I've realized this is the case for virtually every 1859 cent.
However, this is also true for the famous 1872-H Inverted V/A 50 cent piece, which brings a huge premium over the regular version.
With two days down and 5 to go there are 8 watchers, which is a lot more than I've ever had, this quickly, on a regular 1859 cent of this condition.
I've sold other interesting varieties of this coin that sold quite well.
We'll see what happens. I'm very curious about it!
Thanks =)

Hi hhbkiddo,
That's interesting and makes sense. I've heard before that the variety was
just due to a filled die in the thin portion of the bar. I guess that would
explain the high value. Oh and since you asked, my ebay id is pallsoma.
Thanks.

It was just a filled die. I have scores, if not hundreds like this. It is NOT an inverted V. The silver inverted V's are a different story .. those REALLY are.
