Xanonite Valued Member Canada 218 Posts	Posted 02/15/2014 11:59 pm I agree. It doesn't look like anything extra special but PMD. Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 02/16/2014 12:05 pm I agree it looks like a clash on the 39 according to the pic. All the rest looks like PMD as far as I can tell.. Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 02/16/2014 8:41 pm I agree with all the above posters who said that the '39 is a die clash; it's the rounded shape of the beaver's back coming through. You see it on nickels 1940 - 1942, too. The 1999 is tougher -- maybe it was buried for a few years? I thought that nickel stood up fairly well to a lot of acids and whatnot, but I'm not really sure. It does look like it's been eaten away by something, but most of the beads on the reverse are still fairly clear. Hopefully someone who has seen this before will chime in.
