May have one or two more posts just to be sure after done checking the rest. 1964: diagonal N/E to S/W die cracks ? one starts at denticle, one starts at rim. 1965: anything unusual looking about the date I.E.: spacing between 19 and 65, angle/height of 5, or anything else you can see ?

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 11/04/2007 6:19 pm I am not sure that the 1964 shows die cracks. We sometimes see this on U.S. coins as well. On occasion at the tops of letters near the rim, we see the results of metal flow that occurred during the strike. I can't explain the metallurgy behind it, but the metal sometimes flows in such a way that there are lines that develop above serifs and the "corners" on some of the lettering.

foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 11/04/2007 6:28 pm On the 1965, There are varieties but I don't know what specific things to look for as I am not a specialist on Canadian cent varieties. There are the following: Small bead, pointed 5 Small bead, blunt 5 Large bead, pointed 5 Large Bead, blunt 5 The one that has a little extra value in this condition would be the Large bead , pointed 5 variety. Worth about $1.50 U.S. if it is one of those. Sorry I can't tell you which it is, so hang onto it until you get a chance to find out. Have Fun, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
