papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 3:56 pm 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 12/13/2011 4:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff

malibu Valued Member Canada 304 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 11:02 am 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: Report this Post to the Staff
papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 12/15/2011 11:12 am 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. Report this Post to the Staff

littlemoney Pillar of the Community Canada 902 Posts	Posted 12/21/2011 10:22 pm malibu Have you got pictures of your 1974 and 1977 bare bellies ? Report this Post to the Staff
malibu Valued Member Canada 304 Posts	Posted 12/28/2011 10:49 am @ 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 Report this Post to the Staff
Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 01/06/2012 1:27 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9170 Posts	Posted 01/06/2012 2:45 pm That does not look like a BB to me, but I've been wrong before. Report this Post to the Staff
staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 01/07/2012 01:41 am Great, thanks a lot malibu! Now I have to dig up the rolls and do another search... Edited by staircase 01/07/2012 06:52 am Report this Post to the Staff
valentine New Member Canada 19 Posts	Posted 01/10/2012 6:12 pm Today I found one such nickel. Nice to know that 1998 year has such BB too. Report this Post to the Staff
malibu Valued Member Canada 304 Posts	Posted 01/12/2012 1:26 pm This subject came up in 2008 here: http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...PIC_ID=37294 I had another look around and found my 1977 bare belly, which is really just a slightly over-polished die: normal belly 1989 for comparison: Report this Post to the Staff
littlemoney Pillar of the Community Canada 902 Posts	Posted 01/12/2012 1:42 pm The 1990 "Bare Belly" has made it into 2012 Charlton catalogue page 105 Report this Post to the Staff
staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 01/12/2012 3:55 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
