Re: cleaning coins
DON'T clean your coins, unless you have no choice. Go to the archives here and see how many say NO NO NO for cleaning any coin! If you are metal detecting, a gentle rinse in warm distilled water may help, but you can still damage just with the handling.
Re: 1859
Yep, it looks like j7K. However, I have a hard time believing Haxby's rarity scale. He has 6-7 that say rarity 10, and I find that unfathomnable. I'll look through mine and I think that I have 2 10's that would be in addition to his, I guess. Although I sent 6-700 59's to "Phil" for the Haxby site, ...
Re: 1859
Which Haxby number?

Close to becoming a cud. That's quite the crack.

Re: 1882 H with triple punched D in Canada
Well, let's just say that heaton had some tough years trying to make good dies correctly and then trying to repair them.

Re: 1899 1 cent Study on repunch 9
Yes, we put 3 repunched 9's in the 2011 Charlton, but there were more that we didn't have enough more pages alloted us. There are differences in the length & strength of the underpunch below and right of the hook/tail and where it starts and ends. Also a difference on where the vertical start/end is...

Re: Package Error - Charles III First Strike Uncirculated Set
By going to the mint, you've done all you can do. Until they get back, then there's not much anyone here can do/suggest, except QC, which the Mint lacks.

Re: 1893 Triple Punch 1 Cent
Most were well known from an old coin site called CCRS (Canadian Coin ? Society) that had nearly 100 dedicated Canadian coin collectors and researchers. Information was pased freely back and forth and some research projects, especially on Vicky large cent varieties, took years. We used to all meet a...

Re: 1888 - Middle 8 with bead punch
Yes, as stated in Turner's book ,the 2nd 8 is always repunched, some with not a lot of offset. Yours, with a partial bead-punch inside the 2nd 8 is not normal and is fairly scarce. But you can have 1, 2, or all 3 8's repunched. It's a neat year to find varieties, especially with nice offsets.

Re: 1893 Triple Punch 1 Cent
We included that one, I think, on p336 of the 65th Charlton (2011), with the Vicky varieties in the back. I would have to see the rest of the markers on your coin to be sure, since I think the one in the book was mine in the photo. There were 4-5 doubled, tripled, or quad punched 9's for 1893, and w...

Re: 1968 DOLLAR
Well, judging from this EBay "sold", it was less than $22.

Re: 1882 2/1 type 2 ?
I think the OP's coin IS a 2/1a. By looking at the underpunch you can tell whether it was a pointed or rounded neck tip (truncation). It may even be a 2/1/1a, since about half the coins without the Obv 2 overpunch were 1a/1's. There were 2 dies with the Canada A's, only one of which had the denticle...

Re: newfoundland rutherford
Brass will have a slightly "yellowish" appearance. If you are familiar with Canadian large cents, they are bronze, which is 95% copper 4 % tin and 1% zince. Brass is normally 67-85 copper and 33-15 zinc. I'm not sure about any significant weight difference, but the atomic weights of copper and zinc ...

Re: 1882 2/1 type 2 ?
Yes, it's a 2/1, but I've loaned my book to someone temporarily, so I can't tell you what die specifically. Yours DOES have the doubled denticles from Vicky to Canada and both R/P'd A's in Canada, but I see no R/P'd N's, A's or D's anywhere else. Even though it's maybe an F-12 coin, it's a keeper!
