SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 12/03/2014 7:36 pm They look like far to me, check closely on the S in CENTS for proximity to the edge and thickness of the end of the S. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...ts-1922-1936 Edited by SilverDon 12/03/2014 7:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

skip79 Valued Member Canada 403 Posts	Posted 12/12/2014 10:14 pm Yup, Far variety! I too struggled with making the determination until I found a near, then it was clear as day to me. The images in the Charlton books re: near/far rim varieties actually complicate it more. When comparing the 2 varieties in hand, it should be much easier to distinguish. Report this Post to the Staff
