GRcoins Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 10/11/2014 7:57 pm Hi All I can see that this coin has suffered some circular scratching around the edge and in the beaver and the rock he's sitting on and some straight horizontal scratches on both sides. But what do you think of the apparent extra material in the 9 and to the N in Canada? It doesn't seem to be on top of the 9. Thanks GRcoins Report this Post to the Staff

Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 10/13/2014 10:15 am I think what's going on in the 9 is just a bit of rust bubbling up. Rust spots are pretty common on the steel coins of 1944-45, 1952-54. Report this Post to the Staff
GRcoins Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 10/13/2014 12:07 pm Thanks Scissel! I suppose it could be rust. My grandfather marked this as "design in 9" when he looked at the coin sometime between 1953 and his death in 1983 - his diagram is the same as what is there now. I've since noticed that there is a bit of extra material above the S in cents, as well. Thanks for your help! GRcoins Report this Post to the Staff
