Re: Universal Die Numbering System
I had my own numbering/ID program when I started early on the 1859's, as an example for Coneca but gave up on it, as too hard to accurately place some of the weird varieties and overstrikes. Me, I like Rob's system because I'm used to it. I'm not ready to delve into a different syste. I don't even u...

Re: 1895 thick 5
A great deal of research has already been done and published in your Vicky years so you shouldn't duplicate or counter. The 5 of us who wrote the 2011 65th edition for the Vicky variety section in the back had probably twice as many as the 80 pages we were authorized by Charlton to use at the time a...

Re: 1895 thick 5
To me, all of the digits in the bottom photo look "fatter". For many years with the Vicky large cents, the handpunched in the last digit, in this case with just the 189 on the naked die. It saved the mint from having to make a new master and/or subpunches. Nice answer rdg65. If you've dived heavy in...

With the moniker BR1959, I think that I know who it is. Long time, no see, Brad.

No real added value for a die crack. Keep it as an anomoly

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?
Re: 1859
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...
