Copper, wide, light, intermittent milling, on a larger flan than the preceding, and struck out of collar. 4.72 grams. CH LC-40. This is the only specimen of what appears to be C. 63 in the Cooper collection. This coin has been overstruck, though not noted as such by the previous owners. It appears to me that a close study will eventually identify the undertype. This variety tallies with Courteau's description of his number 66, but he himself has corrected that attribution in a letter sent to Montreal collector and specialist in this series, Thomas Murray. The letter, dated July 26, 1919 states, in part: My no. 66 should be, Same as no 65, instead of same as No. 63. Scarce. VF.

Note: this lot is part of The Richard Cooper Collection.
