Hi guys

look at the first picture, it has the engraver's stamp "BT" in full as it should be.

Look at the second picture and part of it is missing, all you see is "B7"

Is that odd or not...?

Sorry, second pic is a little side ways.

The small things get cluttered up first and the smaller elements can get blocked easier. I won't say common, because I don't know for twonies. I do know coins in general get these types of problems constantly.

You may be correct Ugly.

Funny, every and I mean every Toonie I have had my hands on that is one of the details I look at and this if the only one so far that I have came across.

Will have to keep my eyes open for more of them.

Do they ever occur completely plugged? I.e., no designer initials?

Never saw completely plugged, but there are no "B"s and no "T"s.
