<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Victor, post: 1825947, member: 5454&quot;]There were several varieties of the 1859 Canadian large cent.&nbsp; I have a Guardmaster album which has four openings for 1859.&nbsp; First is the &quot;narrow nine&quot; which I think is considered the normal one.&nbsp; Next is the 9 over 8 [wide 9].&nbsp; Third is the double punch narrow 9 #1, then the double punch narrow 9 #2.</p><p>The nar 9 DP #1 is the most expensive and I don&#039;t have that one.</p><p>There are more varieties but my album just calls for the above four.</p><p>The 1858 and 1859 coins were struck for the Province of Canada.</p><p>In 1867 several Brittish colonies and Canadian provinces joined together to become the Dominion of Canada.</p><p>It wasn&#039;t until 1876 that the first cents were struck for the Dominion.</p><p>They made so many cents in 1858 and 1859 that it took until 1876 to use up the stock on hand.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
