Guys, I could not believe my eyes, this coin was found in a roll marked RCMP, the roll was full of them (I have seen this before) however when I flipped it over it looked different.   If this is true, I have finally found the coin that really got me started as a collector back as a child. I would see the RCMP quarters all the time growing up in the 70's and I learned of the Large bust but could never find one. Please tell me my search is over |

VF 30 details. Meter scratches. Still a very nice find for two bits and a bit of time.

Hey, would you mind posting a side by side with a "small" bust? Just for posterity's sake?
Nice find!

 the key markers are the hair, is much less detailed, the beads around the rim are significantly closer, and when compared to a 68 bust they are the same (large bust) |

Sorry I have borrowed the image, I don't know who has the original, but I do not claim owner ship of the image.

The proximity of the obverse beads to the rim is a dead giveaway.... good catch!!
