Hard to say. There are two different varieties of the 1987 5c (see http://www.thesandpit.net/index.php...nt_echidnas) but on-screen the difference doesn't seem that obvious. If you look at them from a distance is the different gap between the SD and rim really obvious? |

I hate to state the obvious, seems to be the trend here though, but I said I'd been keeping my eye out for the 1987 Large/Small aka High/Low. Why are you directing me to sites telling me there are varieties with this coin? I know that, that's why I'm here.

If you have a digital caliper, try taking all relevant measurements for both coins: top â" Bottom and side â" side as well as the gaps between the top â" Rim, bottom â" Rim, plus SD â" Rim.
That should either prove or rule out the High/Low variety. the High variety is said to be extremely rare.
I don't recall if there are 2 sizes with the SD or not.

I think it's harder sometimes to tell the difference when just looking at one part of the coin. |

I havent taken pics good enough to put on here yet, but at 12 oclock they are the same, at 3 oclock the higher one is further from the edge, theres the difference shown above at 6 oclock, and again they are the same at 9 oclock. I will try to do the pics tomorrow.

Good luck with it being the rare variety. Not sure why there'd be a difference in the gap size if it isn't though.

It's not as big as the difference on the 1984, but it's there!
