1961 would be the perfect year for a variety like this! :D However, when I compare this coin to other 61s, I notice there isn't a flag on the...
That's pretty weird looking...it would get my attention too. Something I notice when I draw a perfect circle around the coin, the area affected...
This includes terms and conditions which conflict with eBay policies. I had a recent seller write under returns "14 day hassle-free returns" then...
I see that--cool! It looks like the top left corner of a 1?
What I find most interesting about this coin is how these marks seem to match details on the coin and cross what would be high-points on the die....
Cool...the impressions left by the fibers are really interesting!
This is why I take ebay pics into Photoshop and enlarge them. I can (just barely) see the overdate, but your pictures leave no doubt...
We already know you place no value on errors and die varieties. ;) I would note some overdates and other varieties on UK coins garner nice...
I recently picked up this variety in high AU, providing an excellent opportunity for some detailed photo analysis of the RPD. What I really find...
That die is nearly shattered--I like it! :D If this were a US coin, especially a 19th C. issue, it would undoubtedly have a premium. Dollar value...
I think the doubling on the Canadian cent is MD. But I suspect the outlines around the "OF" pictured above is another cause...since they don't...
Thanks Paddy...wait till I post the high-grade example--the 9/9 is pretty cool! :D
Large cents were popular as fobs for hotel keys and pocket watches for a long time--a possible use until it broke off.

Yes...there is some PMD in the date area, and the 9/9 is unusual looking for IHC RPDs, which makes seeing it difficult--unless you know where to...
Here's a recent pickup--found on eBay without any other bidders. I was lucky, probably because the pics were lousy. It's a solid VF in deep brown...
Struck through die cap? Just a guess...
That's a useful online reference. From what I see, the pictures are of a good resolution, sometimes better than the diagnostic shots in published...
Nice RPM! That mark under the primary D/D is interesting. I saw this in the OP's photo when processed for detail: [IMG]
Nice 1847/47--it doesn't get more obvious than that! :D
