<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SRSNUM, post: 6291833, member: 102988&quot;]The Canada large cent of 1881 with the mintmark of the Heaton mint&nbsp; described and illustrated below, appears to have the obverse of the ‘triple&nbsp; punched N’ illustrated on page 305 of the 65th edition (2011) of the Charlton Catalogue. However, the coin exhibits other characteristics that may or may not exist on the Charlton coin. These additional characteristics are described and imaged below.&nbsp; Should the coin be considered a new variety? All comments welcome.</p><p><br /></p><p>‘Victoria’ exhibits the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>The outside top right of the ‘C’ appears slightly doubled; the inside bottom left exhibits a small notch consistent with doubling.</p><p><br /></p><p>The ‘T’ appears triply(?)&nbsp; entered at the bottom of the top left serif; the bottom left foot is weak and the top, appears slightly doubled from the middle to the left end.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;The last ‘I’ appears slightly doubled at the end of the bottom left serif; the ‘A’ is virtually missing both serifs at the bottom of the right slanting stroke.</p><p><br /></p><p>‘Gratia’ exhibits the following‘:</p><p><br /></p><p>The top serif of the ‘G’ appears slightly doubled at the top left.
