It may be time for everyone to check their Terry Fox rolls.

Here's a short article I wrote 3 years ago about the Terry Fox varieties.

When the rolls first came out it was easy to find all differences in varieties. The one that was the most rare to me was the die chip between the 2 oo in the date. I also found missing stone under foot.

Thank you Scissel!

As a precision, I did check many coins at the time, but for that project I checked among circulated Terry Fox loonies only.

Greetings. Aside from the full grass issue , I have the missing grass issue.
Under microscope , there is also a gouge in his forward calf and thigh.
I believe these gouges to be from the mint.

Maybe Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope took a detour past Sunnyvale Trailer Park, probably not much 'grass' left after Ricky, Julian and Bubbles have been hanging around...

Anyone who is still looking for one of these, this seller seems to have an endless supply from mint rolls.
