Dan Flynn and I co-authored an article on the three die varieties of 1882-H obverse 2 over 1 cents. We published it in the Jul/Aug 2023 CN Journal. The article has photos of high-grade examples of all three types.

You're right Mr. Blais. It is tiring. Have a nice day.

Mr. Blais, I would like to recap. You posted some of your opinions about re-sunk dies. I posted that I disagreed with your opinions and gave my reasons. We debated some points back and forth through several posts. A few of my points were tinged with some sarcasm and if that offended you, I apologize...

I respectfully disagree with several points posted by mkb in this thread. 1. The Royal Mint did not resink old dies when minting the Victorian cents of Canada. If mkb had read the entire 1883 mint report from which he posted an excerpt from page 40, he would have found on the very next page (page 41...
