wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 11/08/2013 7:07 pm Hi Maybe it is my imagination when I was looking at this 1979 quarter, but the letters in "CANADA" and the "elks antlers" seem to be so close to the edge...Is this normal for this year?...See picture below. Report this Post to the Staff

Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 11/08/2013 11:59 pm From what I just read in my Charlton 66th - the penny, nickel, dime and quarter underwent a transition beginning in 1982 and ending in 1993. The purpose was to modify all the coins (front and back)to properly fit with in its parameters. Meaning the Caribou has been modified. If I got this wrong some one correct it please.

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/09/2013 10:46 am I am no pro but it looks like the die struck the planchet a little high and to the right in your last pic so I think it may be a off center planchet and not a MAD.What does the edge look like? John1 Report this Post to the Staff
