staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 2:46 pm Hi there. The 1994 reverse shown below appears to be the result of an over-polished die. There are many details missing, including the areas around the front paws, the head of the beaver, and the top of the log. I've never seen this much detail missing. The obverse is normal. I just thought I'd pass this along as information as I couldn't find a similar post featuring this year. If something else may have caused this please let me know! The third photograph is a normal reverse for comparison. Edit: grammar Edited by staircase 03/05/2012 9:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff

wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 03/05/2012 10:07 pm Hi staircase I am no expert, but it looks like some one added liquid metal after production...It has all the characteristics of a liquid metal poured on it after the fact. But remember...I am no expert Report this Post to the Staff

collectall Pillar of the Community Canada 610 Posts	Posted 03/06/2012 12:36 pm Definitely "over polishing" of the die(s) I too have a number of these. From 1937 to 2010. There is a different degree to the amount of polishing done "on or around"the beaver. This is one of my favourite finds. CHEERS Report this Post to the Staff
