Ningcumpoop Valued Member Canada 220 Posts	Posted 02/07/2015 12:55 pm I suppose that the "Near" coin could have a bent rim. I think that would make the difference between the 2 coins more prominent. However, all of the 1927's exhibit a "Near" design. I could post a different "Near" coin for comparison but that won't change the "Far". After looking at the Far coin, the wear on it has thinned the letters somewhat which could account for a bit of distancing between the S and the rim.....but not all that space can be due to wear can it? This is a poor example coin but I will hang onto it and look for more.....if more are found in better condition then it does exist. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 02/07/2015 1:58 pm The letters on the "near" look rather fat, it may be struck by a worn die. On the other hand, the letters on the "far" look rather thin, it may be struck by an overpolished die, then the corrosion makes the gap look even wider. Disclaimer: I don't have a George V nickel to compare to. Report this Post to the Staff
