As stated in my site, I don't usually do variety attribution because the rarer varieties are elusive and often fetch less than price guides suggest. I see a lot of 1859 Canada cents, though they are supposed to be priced higher, I think many were set aside and remain available.

Canada large 1 cent 1859. Is it the very rare brass type? Probably not. What variety is this coin?
