This appears to me to be the most common variety, the one described in Charlton as plain,narrow nine. Bill
Tazman324,this is not an overdate at all.Like Bill said,it is the one that always turns up.It is an interesting coin in its own right,as this 1c. coin was issued by the Province of Canada, as opposed to the Dominion of Canada.The Province of Canada's 1c. has an uncrowned portrait of Queen Victoria,whereas,the Dominion of Canada's 1c. (1876-1901) has a crowned portrait.That is the main difference. Aidan.
Thanks,I picked up a nice 1867 Hong Kong Dollar for a song, I will post it when I get it scanned Hope its genuine Ed
Ed,the 1867 Hong Kong silver $1 is a very rare coin.There's an almost 100% chance that you have bought a forgery.I have seen forgeries of the American & Japanese Trade $1 coins,which always turn up.One very seldom sees a genuine one of these.You see plenty of genuine British Trade $1 coins,but the 1935 is often forged,as it is extremely rare.Be extremely careful!!!! Aidan.
Ed,I saw those photos.It was definitely proof that it was a dud.The $1/2 is also another coin that is often forged.Steer clear of that one,especially in a market in the Far East.Only buy one from a reputable dealer who knows his stuff. Aidan.
