Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2522 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 2:18 pm I have this labeled as Pointed 5, Small Beads. Did I get it right? Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2522 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 2:36 pm And this one is a Blunt 5 Small Bead right? Is there an easier way to tell than this? I'm quite awful at IDing varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
Coin Chick Pillar of the Community Canada 1354 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 2:42 pm From the picture of the first one it looks blunt. Pic is blurry though. This denomination was the toughest for me to figure out. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2522 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 3:09 pm Here's a couple more pics of the 5 of the first coin. The 5 looks a bit scratched. Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2522 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 4:43 pm Thanks pennyman. Is there an easier way to tell than by looking directly at the 5s? It's too small for me to see without more magnification and I get bad at comparing things when they're on a screen. Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 5:02 pm When you see a pointed 5 there will be no mistake. Check this forum thread..DVCollector nails it. https://goccf.com/t/70954 Report this Post to the Staff
wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 5:04 pm Both blunt... Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2522 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 5:25 pm Thanks so much! Those pics are great, much better than the one in coinsandcanada. I've saved them for future reference. Apparently there's more than 1 kind of blunt 5 for some reason, do they put the dates in the dies individually? Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 5:37 pm Quote: do they put the dates in the dies individually? No they dont. But consider all the things that could change the look PMD, worn die, tooling, very tiny amount of hard packed grease, ect... Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2522 Posts	Posted 05/25/2014 7:48 pm There's more things that can affect dies than I thought... Report this Post to the Staff
M_d_in_guy Pillar of the Community Canada 1049 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 8:35 pm I have a 1985 pointed 5 to use as a comparison, the angle of the pointed 5 1965 is similar to that of the 1985, quite sharp on the angle. I see both your coins as blunts and one large bead and one small bead. When I first started checking my 65's I set them aside on the nights I had a beer or glass of wine lol. Cheers.

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2522 Posts	Posted 05/30/2014 8:55 pm Thanks M_d_in_guy. I'll use these two to compare for large/small beads when I find more. Report this Post to the Staff
