strech15 New Member Canada 20 Posts	Posted 12/04/2011 11:40 am i was searching through a pile of quarters and I came across a RCMP quarter and realized that on the obverse 2 of the beads were missing. after looking at the coin under 20x magnification I saw that the 2 beads were very faint, you could just barely make out the outline of them. I was just wondering could this be something with the die or were they just worn away over time? and just a little side note, I also found a 1973 large bust in the pile Report this Post to the Staff

Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 12/05/2011 10:02 am To me it looks like a Small Bust - there's lots of detail in the hair. The missing beads are most likely from being Struck Through Grease. ~ JFK ~ Report this Post to the Staff
