<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Leadfoot, post: 766919, member: 2972&quot;]Here&#039;s an interesting post on the topic...</p><p><br /></p><p><i>&quot;1859 saw many small varieties in the 1 cent coins. The most common variety is the standard Narrow 9, of which there is a sub variety known as the Low 9. Several left over 1858 dies were re-punched to change the date from 1858 to 1859 without first erasing the second 8, sometimes resulted in part of the 8 still visible below the 9, and are known as a 9 over 8 (or 9/8) varieties. Other varieties are known as &quot;double punch varieties&quot; probably are a type of 9/8 but with no trace of the old 8 visible, but have slightly oddly shaped 9&#039;s. To understand the differences between the many 1859 varieties, it is best to consult the pictures of them in the Charlton standard catalogue of Canadian Coins.&quot;</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Source: <a href="http://www.calgarycoin.com/modern/cdcent.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.calgarycoin.com/modern/cdcent.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.calgarycoin.com/modern/cdcent.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Note to self: Google is your friend.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
