Re: Package Error - Charles III First Strike Uncirculated Set
By going to the mint, you've done all you can do. Until they get back, then there's not much anyone here can do/suggest, except QC, which the Mint lacks.

Re: 1893 Triple Punch 1 Cent
Most were well known from an old coin site called CCRS (Canadian Coin ? Society) that had nearly 100 dedicated Canadian coin collectors and researchers. Information was pased freely back and forth and some research projects, especially on Vicky large cent varieties, took years. We used to all meet a...

Re: 1888 - Middle 8 with bead punch
Yes, as stated in Turner's book ,the 2nd 8 is always repunched, some with not a lot of offset. Yours, with a partial bead-punch inside the 2nd 8 is not normal and is fairly scarce. But you can have 1, 2, or all 3 8's repunched. It's a neat year to find varieties, especially with nice offsets.

Re: 1893 Triple Punch 1 Cent
We included that one, I think, on p336 of the 65th Charlton (2011), with the Vicky varieties in the back. I would have to see the rest of the markers on your coin to be sure, since I think the one in the book was mine in the photo. There were 4-5 doubled, tripled, or quad punched 9's for 1893, and w...

Re: 1968 DOLLAR
Well, judging from this EBay "sold", it was less than $22.

Re: 1882 2/1 type 2 ?
I think the OP's coin IS a 2/1a. By looking at the underpunch you can tell whether it was a pointed or rounded neck tip (truncation). It may even be a 2/1/1a, since about half the coins without the Obv 2 overpunch were 1a/1's. There were 2 dies with the Canada A's, only one of which had the denticle...

Re: newfoundland rutherford
Brass will have a slightly "yellowish" appearance. If you are familiar with Canadian large cents, they are bronze, which is 95% copper 4 % tin and 1% zince. Brass is normally 67-85 copper and 33-15 zinc. I'm not sure about any significant weight difference, but the atomic weights of copper and zinc ...

Re: 1882 2/1 type 2 ?
Yes, it's a 2/1, but I've loaned my book to someone temporarily, so I can't tell you what die specifically. Yours DOES have the doubled denticles from Vicky to Canada and both R/P'd A's in Canada, but I see no R/P'd N's, A's or D's anywhere else. Even though it's maybe an F-12 coin, it's a keeper!

Re: RARE DISCOVERY 2023 CHARLES III Loonie, error or not?
The cost to certify would be well more than the coin(s) would ever be worth. Just keep them safe and you already know what they are.

Re: 1888 double 888 with possible obverse doubling and maybe die chips?
Yep, the dies were getting tired during the '88 strikings. It's nice to have all 3 8's repunched. There are i, 2, 3 repunched and sometimes the 1. Lots of '88 varieties.

Re: 3rd Sail Dime?
Please remove the above 2 posts in this thread by me, Bill in Burl,. I got mixed up and posted info on the third, or extra, sail on the toonie, not the dime. But I'm sure that the posted reason would be the same ... an error by the Mint.

Re: 3rd Sail Dime?
Yes, there was extensive discussion on a thread or two in the past on toonies and dimes. It just has the "name" third sail or "extra sail". It's just that the mint put their "cameo" treatment on a blank "air" section when it just should have gone on the sails. There were actually 3-4 small sections ...
