Well I got the new one that they say is for collectors not circulation.  I did find about 10 that have die chip on the date on the 0, and also die cracks above the 0. In did see on Canada going from the N to the A the start of a die crack and then from the A to the D Hard to get a good pic but you can make it out.  |

Nice find, mcshilling! So the RCM is wearing out those dies already. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

I am collecting each variant of loon in PL, PR, SP and then specials which are sometimes in silver, silver/gold gilded or gold. My criteria is the coins must have loon shape and 27mm. I have created my list from Coins & Canada site as well as from LCS listings.

I don't have a full count, but don't forget the old style specimen loons from the Baby Animals sets. There is a list in the bin from years ago.
