Dans de nombreux cas, une correspondance positive entre les pièces et les matrices existantes ne peut pas être ètablie. Pour plus de commoditè dans les rèfèrences croisèes des matrices utilisèes pour plusieurs variètès, les matrices inconnues ont reçu des numèros commençant par U001 pour les matrices d'avers et U501 pour les matrices de revers. Voir les listes de variètès de pièces pour les descriptions dètaillèes des impressions de ces matrices.
Vers 1970, Jacoby Bros dèmènage du 434 West Pender au 568 Seymour Street. à cette èpoque, nous nous sommes arrangès pour acheter près d'une tonne de leurs matrices obsolètes. Beaucoup ètaient des matrices vierges (c'est-à-dire des poinçons de flans), d'autres ètaient des matrices de mèdailles. Aucune des matrices n'avait ètè utilisèe depuis le dèmènagement de 1953. Quatre matrices ètaient lièes aux pièces de bijoutiers. En 1985, Jacoby Bros. a vendu du matèriel excèdentaire et l'auteur a achetè dix-neuf autres matrices obsolètes qui semblent être destinèes à des pièces de bijoutiers. Nous avons numèrotè les matrices pour plus de facilitè.
*curl behind the neck in two sections. See also die 1026
*upper arm of St. George cross missing, unlike No. 5956
*curl behind neck makes a continuous curve, unlike die 1003/No. 330
*1027: Certain details and defects match No. 670, but the details of the
hair, brow and eye differ. These change could have been cut into the
die after punching, or another similar punch may have been used. 1028: Same size and shape as head for No. 680, but truncation style and
CANADA positions differ.

Les descriptions sont comme si elles ètaient lues à partir d'une pièce frappèe par le(s) matrice(s) dècrite(s). Il est très difficile de comparer des matrices à des pièces connues sans d'abord polir les matrices pour les nettoyer, ce que nous ne pourrions èvidemment pas faire.
