The 1859 Canada large cent is without a doubt the king of all variety years.  Just look at how many major varieties of this date that are known to exist.  The famous overdates ( 1859/8 ) both medal and coinage, the two doublestruck "9" varieties, the very rare brass narrow  "9" and of course the standard narrow "9".  Not to mention all the various minor varieties, such as die breaks, cracks, hanging digits  ( NOT JUST THE "9" S !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) WOWW!! What a great year.  If one could assemble all of the varieties and errors you could easily have ten or more coins!!!!!!  These coin are so beautiful and mostly affordable.  I find them the most beautiful of all North American large cents.  Although over 9 million pieces were struck, this is still a very desirable coin.  I have personally owned and sold every variety but one, and I can say I will never get tired of this pretty coin.  I look forward to obtaining more to offer.
