Some touch the leaves, some far, some low, etc. They are all about the same as far as availability. Report this Post to the Staff
splatto Valued Member Canada 426 Posts	Posted 06/26/2010 01:33 am I just consulted my Charlton and there aren't really any varieties on this coin. Sorry for asking a silly question Report this Post to the Staff

M<y source for this info, is the CCCS. Highly recommended by Bill in Burl, among others. Dick Report this Post to the Staff
R2bR2c Valued Member Canada 153 Posts	Posted 06/26/2010 05:00 am Jack Griffin's 1992 book on Canadian Large Cent varieties lists 15 varieties for the 1898H. Charlton is not the place to go to get info on varieties. Many more varieties have been found since Jack's searching through the 90's and I'd guess that there were closer to 20 1898 varieties now. You have repunched 8's & 9's, at least 8 different placements for the H's and various others, including spacings. I have nearly 5000 Victoria Large Cents with over 30 1898's ... and there aren't 4 alike. Report this Post to the Staff
