I went to the Flea Market on Sunday and I got this in my change. It's on page 105 of The new Charlton 2011 coin book its called the Bare Belly Beaver variety.  How scarce do you think they are.  Here's a close up picture of the Belly. I corrected the spelling I hope Edited by papeldog

I have a 1990 and 1998 found coin roll hunting. There are also 1974 and 1977 bare bellies. It's caused by die wear or over-polishing of the dies and its not as rare as a '64 extra water line but still quite hard to find:   |

Thanks for the heads up on the other years malibu, I'll be keeping my eyes open for them as well. I have a few buckets of 5 + 10 coins I haven't spent any from my change since the 70's I have been saving them for variety hunting.

@ littlemoney: unfortunately not, I read about this a few years ago, made a note about it in my spreadsheet, and now I can't find either the reference or the coins and I don't have images  |

I found a nice 1990 Bare Belly in a roll yesterday. Does anyone know the current catalog value @ EF? I'm just curious - I'm keeping it for my personal collection.  |

That does not look like a BB to me, but I've been wrong before.

The 1990 "Bare Belly" has made it into 2012 Charlton catalogue page 105

Thanks again for making me re-visit some rolls and flips! I had set aside a few very nice 1990 nickels because they are so difficult to find in roll searching. Lo and behold, the nicest of the bunch (MS63 or higher) is a BB.
