Designer initials under the shoulder indicate it was minted at BSP but there is also (apparently) a mint mark. Am danged if I can see it. Can some kind soul point out where and what it is? Thanks Edited by David Graham 01/12/2021 01:20 am Report this Post to the Staff

bjherbison Valued Member United States 257 Posts	Posted 01/12/2021 07:08 am Never mind. I just studied more and saw that Numista and Krause say the Canadian mint didn't include the engravers initial. I think that mark is the only mark. I'm not sure if it is the mint mark or a combination of the mint mark and the initials. Report this Post to the Staff
