She looks like a beauty too . Here's some info on this coin .. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?coin=5-cents-1893&years=5-cents-1858-1901
Coin due in the mail today and I'm going to take new images of the date . There's 2 different types ( R/P'd 9 and a R/P'd 3 ) for this year . Bill In Burl is helping me out with this coin ( as always ) . He also gave me a link to buy a Charlton 64th edition (2010), for 3 bucks and free shipping too . This book lists all the 5 cent silver Varieties, at least the ones I need . To me it looks like the 8 & 9 and maybe the 3 too, are re-punched . Bill also told me the Mint could of used a different year die to stamp this coin too . This should be fun ... Thanks again, Bill ......
Just encase anybody interested in what I paid, here's the link to ebay . http://www.ebay.com/itm/182242309647?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Interesting that the person listing the coin took such careful photos, yet made a listing error, 10 cent not 5 cent piece. Um
It happens and this is a seller, I've purchased many coins from . I check their store everyday and this was a " New Listing " . I purchased the coin within the first hour of listing ....
I found out last night from a Canadian Collector on Collectors Universe, this RPD can be found in the Charlton, 64th ed, page 366 and is known as RP-1 ( 1/1 8/8 9/9 3/3) .
