    There are no reported varieties for the 1894 5c. Charlton reports that a completely new matrix was created in 1894. Yours shows a late die state of both the obv and rev. In VF it is worth approx $100CAD.

    Gene is correct.
    16 obv and 7 rev dies were used to strike 500.000 coins.
    different digit spacing and different fonts are possible.
