DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 03/08/2017 8:00 pm Definitely not the tough C1 obverse..The bottom serif in the "N" in Regina must be unusually long and your cent isn't.. Report this Post to the Staff

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5357 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 06:53 am It's definitely an Obv 2. It doesn't have a smooth, rounded throat/chin and the tip of the neck truncation definitely is between the 2 beads. You can see the neck truncation not ending on the bead directly above the C in Canada from arms length. The neck truncation is the best ID, then the shape of the throat, then the N in Regina .. all say a 2. Report this Post to the Staff
Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2764 Posts	Posted 03/09/2017 12:09 pm I've found that the chin maker can be a little more difficult to determine with even slightly worn examples. But as DEVLEC stated, the obv 1 has a distinct long lower sheriff on the N in regiNa. Here's a visual for reference. Edited by Wade 03/09/2017 12:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
