<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ertw, post: 123631, member: 4954&quot;]From the few 1891&#039;s I&#039;ve seen there appears to be at least 12 varieties IMHO:</p><p><br /></p><p>1891 LLLD </p><p>1891 SLLD</p><p>1891 SLSD</p><p><br /></p><p>Each of the above three reverse varieties have 2 different date spacings at least - Wide and Narrow Date.</p><p><br /></p><p>Additionally, there were 2 different obverse portraits of the Queen used during minting of these (#2 and #3) - the markers of these obverse types are typically the Queen&#039;s chin/throat area, however others on the site here may identify other ways to attribute these obverse portraits as I usually mess them up.&nbsp; Furthermore, I think the obverse #3 the letter &quot;C&quot; in Canada is almost closed...in all others it will be open &quot;C&quot;...not sure though??&nbsp; Post a pic...there is a member here, bromac4, who was sharp on identifying a 5 cent piece I screwed up royally on...Maybe he could offer his opinion on the variety you have.</p><p><br /></p><p>SLSD and SLLD (both obverse #2) typically being the tougher to come across.&nbsp; Couldn&#039;t tell you the relative &quot;rarity&quot; between wide and narrow dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>Trends in CCN, however, does not mention the 2 date spacing varieties for 91.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure if Charlton&#039;s does however.&nbsp; These large cents have a number of unofficially &#039;recognized&#039; varieties, so there may even be more. </p><p><br /></p><p>Hope that helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
