Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2521 Posts	Posted 05/28/2014 8:43 pm I think this is quite a funny looking variety. Plus, it looks like eyes since they're both looking at the same direction Dates are a common place for these weird extra bits of metal or plating to appear Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2521 Posts	Posted 05/29/2014 08:26 am I didn't notice the extra metal on the 2 and 4, must have been focusing at the eyes too much I had a good look at the obverse and they seem to match too, both having one weak denticle just to the left of where the last A in Regina is pointing to. And these were found several weeks apart, I guess quite a few of these "eyed" nickels were circulated here. Those extra bits are called die markers, to show which dies struck the coin right? I will try for better pics tomorrow, it was getting too dark for good pics so that was the best I could do. Edit: the better pics are here! "Eyes" and a single odd denticle Edited by Altaira 05/29/2014 8:27 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Alexer Pillar of the Community Canada 2632 Posts	Posted 05/31/2014 02:06 am Keep them together. Considering they're from the same 2 die's they've been in circulation for 10 years and you found them a few weeks apart, thats pretty cool. No to the die markers. Report this Post to the Staff
