Welcome: To the Fascinating World of 1859 Canadian Large Cent Varieties

•  Extensive hand work made every die used to mint     the 1859 cents different. Each coin added to your collection will very likely be a new variety!
• Some varieties are rare, but many are readily available--a good magnifying glass and the Haxby Online Catalog will help you understand them.  


This site has been published to help identify and catalog each die and
die combination used in minting the 1859 Narrow 9 Canadian large cents.


What Types of Things Can I Find...?  Lots! 
"Every 1859 cent has something to offer if you look hard enough."
