A while back a fellow was talking about a 2001-P nickel with a "bald belly" or something along those lines. I said they were all weak in that area on my coins. I just got another roll in, in which all the coins are from just two dies. On one the Beaver is relatively strong throughout and on the other the lower parts of the Beaver are abraded and polished down to a point were quite a bit of design is gone. I don't think this should make them valuable but since his image left a lot to be desired, I thought I'd share what I think he was trying to show.  Full Strike (for the issue).  Abraded/Polished Die |

very interesting to see on a more modern example, I recall finding some pretty well polished dies on 1942 tombacs as well.

Dollarman,
About half the roll was this way. This adds no value to a Canada 5c does it?

honestly, I wouldn't let myself pay more than a dollar or two for a set of one standard and one "bald beaver", I am thinking that the weakness is just not strong enough for a good premium.
Feel free to call me Will.

That "Bald Beaver" is a weak strike. Cool though.
