Hello everyone. As I was Coin Roll Hunting a box of pennies tonight I found this penny. Its a 1958 and the Last letter "A" in CANADA is a lot thicker then on any of the other 1958's I have checked with tonight. I have included a few pictures for comparison. Please let me know what you think. Is this common?

 

Coin in question: The last A is thicker and the N is also thicker on the lower section. Looks like maybe a few other letters are a bit off as well?

Interesting. Unfortunately I don't have any copy of the Zoell references.

 

The Zoell catalogues (pamplets, actually) are the definative works on Canadian varieties, esp 40s-60s, but they are long out of print and copies are hard to come across.
