SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2361 Posts	Posted 11/08/2014 12:52 pm Can you be more specific? I'll start - denticles in '76, beads in '77 Edited by SilverDon 11/08/2014 12:56 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Vancouver IslandCoinKid Forum Kid Canada 1074 Posts	Posted 11/08/2014 1:02 pm Yes I agree with both of you, totally remastered and different denticles and all, I think the queens portrait is even smaller on the 1977! Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2361 Posts	Posted 11/08/2014 1:30 pm Excellent responses @robmck1967, Northern Lights Lines are not incused but have relief above the plane of the field. Something else that has not been mentioned has relief in the '77 but is incused in the '76 as well. Edited by SilverDon 11/08/2014 2:08 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2361 Posts	Posted 11/08/2014 1:56 pm Both are PL's. Something else that has not been mentioned has relief in the '77 but is incused in the '76 as well. What about the dates? Edited by SilverDon 11/08/2014 3:29 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2361 Posts	Posted 11/08/2014 4:16 pm As for the dates; 1976 - Flared 1, Blunt 9, Pointed 7 1977 - Straighter 1, Pointed 9, Blunt 7s Emanuel Hahn's initials EH incused on '76 and relief on '77 Thicker Rim on the '77, and use of beads, with more distance between the legend and the beads than in '76 where the legend is closer to the denticles. This made for an overall smaller design in '77, and use of different sized lettering and font, with smaller date. Anything else like rope lines on the bundles in the canoe?
