    Hi Everyone
    I just bought this large cent and after looking at the picture I saw two errors on the coin.
    The letter A in GRATIA, and the C in CANADA
    I made the one picture large so the errors are easy to see.
    I could use some help identifying these errors, as I know nothing about error coins
    Thanks
    Alan

    Looks to be die cracks going from the rim to the first set of beads. Passes right through the letters on the opposite sides of each other. Very interesting coin and I like the look of it.

    It may actually be a single bisecting crack. The crack comes from the rim through the A to the top of Victoria's head. It also runs from the point of the bust through the beads, the C and finally to the rim. The crack is faint so wheter or not it passes through the head can't be determined be cause of the wear on the coin. it is also possible it is just two separate cracks. Oh and there are two other cracks as well. One from the rim through the O in VICTORIA to the beads, and the other from the rim through the N in REGINA to the beads.
