<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SRSNUM, post: 25473423, member: 102988&quot;]Many thanks to Spark1951, eddiespin, alurid &amp; CollectingNut for responding.&nbsp; With their help, I believe I was able to more fully attribute the item.</p><p><br /></p><p>Below, find an image of a second example of the &quot;1893/93&quot;, which was purchased with the first example 45 or 50 years ago at an auction at Smith College in Northhampton, Massachusetts. As an aside, these pieces came in a small black snap purse along with among other coins, a Lauzon ferry token.</p><p><br /></p><p>Examining the &quot;tripled 9&quot; 1893 imaged at the CoinandCanada website on the link supplied by alurid (further down the page), I believe there is a solid match with the image below.</p><p><br /></p><p>Notice that the &quot;9&quot; below (yellow &amp; red arrows) exhibits similar tripling to the C&amp;C 1893 tripled &#039;9&#039;. In addition, the red arrow at the bottom right of the &quot;9&quot; shows a sliver of doubling emerging to the left, also shown on the C&amp;C coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Notice also that the &quot;3&quot; in both coins obtained at Smith, exhibits a sliver emerging from the bottom to the left. It seems that the second coin should be labeled 1893 tripled 9-doubled 3 or something to that effect. The first Smith coin is a bit too beat-up to be considered a double of the first Smith coin, but, might deserve an 1893 doubled 9-doubled 3 designation?</p><p><br /></p><p>Of course, it is possible that I may have gotten this analysis wrong.&nbsp; SNAFUs do happen. Further thoughts solicited and welcome.</p><p><br /></p><p>Again, many thanks to all who responded...very much appreciated !!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1630471[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1630472[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1630473[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
