timotay01 Valued Member Canada 186 Posts	Posted 02/22/2007 4:57 pm I noticed this post http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...TOPIC_ID=816 and had two questions. Is this coin circulated? Apparently there are two maybe three versions of it: regular, without grass, and without grass without trees. Anyone have a pics of these is the differnces obvious? Report this Post to the Staff

timotay01 Valued Member Canada 186 Posts	Posted 03/07/2007 6:00 pm Thanks! I found somewhere a picture of the differences but there was no description, and I can't tell from these but maybe someone else can? Image: TerryFox.jpg 24.47 KB Report this Post to the Staff
Abyss Valued Member Canada 309 Posts	Posted 03/07/2007 6:12 pm I think that the picture is just too small to tell the difference.Maybe Bromac might help you on this one. Report this Post to the Staff
bromac Valued Member Canada 195 Posts	Posted 03/07/2007 11:13 pm I remember seeing something about varieties but none of my references show anything and I really can't remember what they were. bill Report this Post to the Staff
timotay01 Valued Member Canada 186 Posts	Posted 03/17/2007 10:06 pm I found the answer on another message board: "The error (so called error) can be located at the grass line in front of terry's front foot at the sock line. On the no grass variety there is a bit of grass in front of Terry, it doesn't continue until his sock. " Now that I look at my previously attached image and at the error coin I have, I can confirm it. Report this Post to the Staff
