Re: 1894 large cent
Yes, that is a "fat" or large 4, not really easy find, but not rare. Your coin has surface corrosion/contamination with the green stuff. If you have any other large cents that are common, trying cleaning one of them to see if it affects the color or surface of the coin. You can gently wash your coin...

Re: 1893 Canada Large Cent Repunched 9
There is no book, per se, that covers all of the Vicky large cents. In the links that I included above about old threads dealing with the '93's, there are links in those with photos and explainations. Just go through the archives of the 3-4 main coin sites and you'll find what you need. The CaC vari...

Re: Lincoln Memorial 1989 D double die cent?
The date looks like die deterioration doubling, not a double die and common. The E may have been repunched, as I see no more letters even remotely doubled. Keep it as an oddity, as it has not any extra value.
Re: Pc58-182
That's from an 1859? Or '58? or '88?

Re: 1893 Canada Large Cent Repunched 9
To help clear thing up, here is a thread from 2-3 weeks ago on the same subject. https://coinsandcanada.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=9665 You have doubled R/P'd 9's, triple-punched (TP 9's) and quad-punched 9's. Look at all the attachments/references in the above thread and the additional info in ...

Re: 1893 Canada Large Cent Repunched 9
From the images, you can't tell what kind of 9 is there as they are not clear and not magnified enough. Again, you can't place a value on something just from photos and what is in the description. People need to see it in-hand or with clear, detailed images. You need to see whether it's one of the j...

Re: 1893 Canada Large Cent Repunched 9
There are a number of different R/P'd 9's for 1893, some modest and some really great, some doubled, some tripled. Without knowing what you have there, you will find no values. We were only able to put 2 of the 4-5 different 9's in the 2011 Charlton that had the Vicky varieites in the back, due to s...

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...

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, ...
