nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 12:35 pm This just arrived recently. Has a number of triple punched letters on obverse and repunched N on reverse. Does it look like it could grade EF-40? It is very sharp in hand. You gotta love all the Vicky varieties, every coin is different. Edited by nybird 04/01/2011 8:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff

nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 8:52 pm Remember in 2nd grade when they told you "If you cheat on spelling tests, you will regret it the rest of your life" they were right! I can do lots of complicated things but writing and spelling is beyond weak... Edited by nybird 04/01/2011 8:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff

pastorals Valued Member United States 91 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 9:14 pm Nice snag, Nybird. Did you get that on ebay...it looks sorta familiar. Alan Report this Post to the Staff
nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 9:18 pm Yes this one was ebay, but the photos did not look anything like this, I just took a chance, even regreted it a little when I saw the price tag, until it arrived. From a collecting standpoint the RP N in Cent is what is in the catalog for pricing, but the triple punches make it cool. Report this Post to the Staff
pastorals Valued Member United States 91 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 9:37 pm Yes, it is sweet. I'm on the lookout for a nice (EF40 or better) 1959 DP#1. But when I have the money there isn't one to be found, then when I'm "financially challenged" they come floating by, one after another it seems. Oh well....patience Alan!

nybird Valued Member United States 459 Posts	Posted 04/01/2011 9:41 pm My quest right now is for a Single serif N on a 1881 Canadian Large Cent, any condition will do. The 1882 with double punched letters in Canada or Regina is a close second. Oddly enough I have found about 4 1859 DP#2 so far. None of them great but easily recognizable.

dan-in-crystal-lake Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 04/02/2011 03:46 am nybird, nice coin. Good luck with the SSN '81, they are as scarce as hens teeth! Report this Post to the Staff

commoncents13 Valued Member Canada 248 Posts	Posted 04/05/2011 06:36 am I would say VF 30 to EF 40! ---Nice coin. Triple Vic. as a plus! Report this Post to the Staff
R2bR2c Valued Member Canada 153 Posts	Posted 04/07/2011 05:29 am VF-30 cleaned. I know of only a handful (literally) of the '81 single serif. I had 2 and sold one to Dan a year or so ago. The '82 hybrid with the RP's is easier, but still a long haul. You, however, have been searching virgin Vicky teritory in the largest population concentration on the East Coast .. you very well could find something out there. Good luck .. let me know if you need anything. Report this Post to the Staff
