dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 4:12 pm Can we get a clean (no line) pic of a far/low 2? In the example posted, the line seems a bit too high: Report this Post to the Staff

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 07/15/2012 7:52 pm This is great! I have question - from the posted pics, it seems the tail of the 9 in the Far 2's date is pointed and the near 2's 9 is squared off - is this the case? Are there any higher resolution pics that could be linked to? How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?

za75 Valued Member Canada 402 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 08:53 am dialog_gvf, the pictures are from my friend castor : I am grateful for this share ! For me, it seem easier to check the distance between the top of 2 and the leaf : no confusion, the distance is wider for the varity " Far 2 ". Report this Post to the Staff
za75 Valued Member Canada 402 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 09:03 am Earle42, I check my coins ( one " Far 2 " and three Near 2 ) and I don't see what you see : sorry ! Report this Post to the Staff
za75 Valued Member Canada 402 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 1:52 pm dialog_gvf, - for the variety " Far 2 ", when we pass the line from the extremity of right leaf and the top of 2, we find the end of this line in the center of 1. - for the variety " Near 2 ", when we pass the line from the extremity of right leaf and the top of 2, we find the end of this line on the top of 1 and on the extremity of the left leaf.

I made the picture larger and added some pointers to it. So if yours are not like this, I winder if this means there is more than one type of Far 2?

za75 Valued Member Canada 402 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 7:26 pm Earle42, My coin, a " Far 2 ". is the same that you can see on the last picture, including the 9. The first picture is a " Near 2 ". Like for 5 cents 1926 " Near 6 and Far 6 ", my search is restricted to the 5 cents 1932 " Near 2 and Far 2 ". I don't know if we have different 9 for the 5 cents 1926. I know nothing about this.

Earle42 Bedrock of the Community United States 10038 Posts	Posted 07/16/2012 8:20 pm thanks za75 - I was just wondering if it might be possible to make it easier to know if a nickel is a Far or a Near 2 if the 9s are so different (like the picture seems to show). BTW - I would love to be on the Canadian forum you listed, but I speak only English and Spanish. So, although knowing Spanish makes it possible to get a good idea of what is written in French, it still is something I am not sure I can take the time to do. Maybe I should learn French!

za75 Valued Member Canada 402 Posts	Posted 07/17/2012 08:46 am Hi Earle42 and thanks to clarify this point for me ! I think, but I am not sure, that the form of the bottom of 9 ( sharp or blunt ) as you say, is connected with the position of F and S on the coin ( Far Rim and Near Rim ): these common errors are repertoried in the trends of CCN and in Charlton. But I see no connection between the form of the 9 and the " Far 2 and Near 2 " on the 5 cents 1932. I hope that, one day, the rare variety " Far 2 " will be also repertoried in the trends and in the Charlton. ---- Welcome on our forum for you and all collectors ! Report this Post to the Staff
