stuffandcoins New Member Canada 8 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 09:08 am Hi, Does anyone have any idea what MISSING DH refers to? I have examined this coin closely and I cant for the life of me figure it out! A google search for 'MISSING DH Canada Coin' turns up a Canada dime, and a Canada penny labelled MISSING DH. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My first post by the way Report this Post to the Staff

stuffandcoins New Member Canada 8 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 10:08 am If thats so , then where are the initials supposed to be? Because every other 2000 Celebration coin ive checked has no DH initials on it. I'm thinking ICCS made a mistake? Report this Post to the Staff
punman Pillar of the Community Canada 849 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 10:18 am I have not noticed DH on any of the coins of that series. Those are my initials so maybe someone is missing me. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 11:36 am I checked a lot of my old effigy and see no DH for initials on the obverse, unless it is well hidden. Sorry didn't mean to lead you down the garden path, just a theory. Seeing lots of Missing DH as details on ebay usually on 2000 25 cents. Now I have to know.

Jakey New Member Canada 3 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 12:24 pm I thought be might be designers name but according to this link http://en.ucoin.net/users/coin/cana...?ucid=948636 none of the obverses were designated DH which would mean they are all missing the DH Report this Post to the Staff

denny7000 Pillar of the Community Canada 1018 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 4:39 pm I just went through a mixed roll of the 2000 and it must be a high point, its there but very warn on circulated coin. It is really hard to see, I missed it the first time I looked. I'm not looking at MS ones though. Report this Post to the Staff
stuffandcoins New Member Canada 8 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 5:40 pm YES! Thats true!! This is simply AMAZING sleuth work guys! Thank you soo much!! I just looked at the 1992 Confederation quarter series and the DH on the bust is quite tiny, clear, distinct and delicate. But on most of the quarters from the 2000 series the DH appears as mushy nubs. Of course my next question is ... just how rare is this occurrence? Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 01/02/2015 6:14 pm A high point in an open area. All of mine looks like two blobs that got smashed, 1992, 1999, or 2000. I didn't check the rest (1990-2003, except those three years) yet. I think it's clearer in 1992 because the hub is still fresh compared to 2000. Take the example of the Lincoln Cent, the portrait gets mushier and mushier until 1968 before they cut a new one. I don't imagine this being very rare since it's just a tiny spot where grease can fill, but because of the fact that it gets worn off very quickly, we probably will never know.
