Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 08/30/2013 8:39 pm I just finished removing these coins from the mint cellophane in order to get a more clear look at them and this is what I found. Odd I have seen better quality in circulation. I posted the dollar here the other day and every coin in this set seems to have problems. How unusual is this? The beavers fur lacks detail and this fifty cent piece has a something wrong with the crown as well as marks all over the face-obverse. thanks fifty cent obv Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 09/03/2013 12:39 pm I guess the lack of detail in the leaves of the nickel isn't so unusual. BUT I have to ask if anybody can tell me about the crown on the fifty cent coin...is it a result of filled die? thanks Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10458 Posts	Posted 09/03/2013 1:43 pm Welcome to the world of weak strikes with nickel composition coins... the highest points on the devices (or deepest parts of the dies), will lack detail in a weak strike.
