canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 07/25/2011 02:37 am Hmm...was wondering if anyone had seen the doubled "CANADA" on the 1859 before. The doubling is most apparent in the 1st and 3rd As, and the top of "C". Report this Post to the Staff

The 1859 doubled letters were hand punched into the working dies as the engraver worked to strengthen the legend. It is unlike your other 2 examples that were hub doubled.

canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 07/25/2011 12:42 pm Thanks Dan...any idea how rare the 1882 Hub doubled is? I have 2 pieces in F-VF grade, going to send them to CCCS to get graded. Also, I'm assuming the hub doubled 1881 is more common (I also have 2 of these). Charlton lists 2 varieties.

dan-in-crystal-lake Valued Member United States 493 Posts	Posted 07/26/2011 9:29 pm The 81 is more common. That particular 82 is difficult. There is another in 82 as well. Keep your eyes open and you will find it. Report this Post to the Staff
canadian-varieties Pillar of the Community Canada 1442 Posts	Posted 07/27/2011 12:19 pm Dan...could you tell me what to look for in the "other 1882 hub doubled" variety? Is there doubling in different words, etc? :) I've only seen the one that's in Charlton. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
