Hi guys

Take a look at this 2011 tooney.
The polar bear does not have an eye.
Wish my scans were better, but the coin shows it better in my hand.
Strange.

Great hunting wert. You know they only made one coin like that you know. Ha Ha.
I was just woundering if there was any difference between a week struck and well struck coin measured with digital calipers?
Rest in Peace

Believe me cownick, if they only made one coin, it wouldn't end up in my pocket...!

Just strange that there is not too much wear and the bear absolutely has no eye.

I think its a Greaser. Grease filled part of the die causing the design to not show as well.
