Another member posted a nice piece a big Canadian copper.
Here is mine. The white spot is a reflection not seen in hand.
Show us yours.

Vickie was a cute young lady there. The rev is very nice aside the scratch. Peace Roy

I would say this: very few people, IF any, can beat Bosox's coins.
I think he has a " SP and High MS, RED only, coin-making-machine" in his basement

I like 1859 late die states.

Looks like die clash to me.

Nice coins all.

Great pictures. I’m still working through mine

Agree about the reverse what are odds this one has same date weakness

I enjoy early Canadian copper. The die damage can be interesting and varied, especially in the territorial bank tokens. Peace Roy

I believe your 59 is a variety on the 9.
let SYL and Bosox chime in. They are THE , or one of THE authorities of the 1859's. they wrote books about them.

I thought that it might be a DP#3, but I really can't see the Rev clearly enough. I THINK that there's a D/C at 14, but I don't see one at 1. The 9 is distinctive, but this coin is just worn too much. Maybe in hand, someone can see what it is, but not on a computer screeen.
