thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 4:35 pm there are fully struck nickel dollars? Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2523 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 4:44 pm Hopefully there are some! I just don't like how mine has a broken petal or missing the top part of the crown or something like that. (this one is a business strike) Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 4:48 pm I really like nickel dollars but prefer the earlier ones, I always see them and want to buy them but the obverses deter me. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2523 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 5:10 pm Like this one? This one's a 1969. There's some severe ghosting on the reverse. They look pretty much like this until they reduced the obverse relief, I think. I need to check to be sure, can't remember. Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 5:16 pm I have a couple of those, I like the ghosting aswell, one of mine actually has barely any date visible. does youre show a bunch of rolling lines on the reverse aswell? Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2523 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 5:48 pm The other side of that 1969. The date especially the 69 is very light. Here's a 1968 with a bunch of rolling lines. These are the best pics I currently have. Old pics, all of them. It is present in other parts of the coin but they are most pronounced here.

chadcoins Pillar of the Community Canada 1160 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 7:33 pm I was inspired by this post and checked my 20, 1970 PL Sets I had. The ONE set, the REGINA I had to take pictures of each letter and post it here. I will leave it to the experts here,The R is over the R, the E is over the E 3 times, The G is over the G, the I is over the I, the N is over the N 3 times and the A has the split top. We all are on to something here!! Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2523 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 8:25 pm It's a bit hard for me to decide because my pics were taken at an angle (too dark otherwise) and yours from straight up. I hope you have a winner though, that notched top A looks promising. If my memory is working properly, I remember the top left serif of the N having a notch, and a bit of extra thickness on the right vertical line too. The doubling on R and E is light but it sure looked messed up. The dot between DG and Regina is a little oblong. If you can try taking the pics of A and N at an angle like mine (the angle I'm familiar seeing it from) maybe I can help you more. And guess what? My camera is working again today. Gotta love them electronics - sometimes you feel like stabbing them or throwing them out of the window. My MS Word crashed earlier today right before I pressed print and I wasn't able to recover any part of my finished homework. My own computer denied me saving the file saying "you do not have permission to save files in this computer". Edit: Okay, that came out as a long rant, sorry...

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2523 Posts	Posted 02/23/2015 10:56 pm I only have one, and now it's in the mail, so I have 0 now. Nothing else to compare to. Report this Post to the Staff
SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10464 Posts	Posted 02/24/2015 01:34 am I am beginning to wonder if the top of the 'A' suffered minor damage on the striking die, giving the illusion of a notched appearance... the rest of the elements just don't seem to jive with it...
