Wade Pillar of the Community Canada 2781 Posts	Posted 04/03/2013 10:53 pm found this on ebay hidden away in the mexico 1905-present section, I'm not all that into errors but had to snap it up. I don't have an 1896 yet so will likely keep it unless I can sell/trade and fill several holes in my vicky cents pages. REV photo is pretty fuzzy, but grade appears comparable to OBV. i'll update once I have it in hand. opinions on grade and error (lamination?) greatly appreciated. and of course, "what's it worth?". also, not sure about the G in "regina", looks a little off but it might be corrosion?

lambecolin Pillar of the Community Canada 618 Posts	Posted 04/06/2013 03:20 am Lamination , it looks like to me. I see some sort of cavity at the rim, with a laminate plate over the denticles -- this triangular plate was separated and lost, leaving indistinct denticle remains. The strike formation of the I in solid matrix just slightly engaged the lamination cavity enough to lift another plate ---but has not been lost. That is my theory and I own it.(until better evidence arrives) Report this Post to the Staff
