okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5591 Posts	Posted 10/19/2015 5:04 pm Yes, and there could be quints as well. It's however many punches that they had to whack it to get it to the proper depth on the working die .. and with annealing of the die and hardening of the punch after each episode. It always took at least 2 whacks and I've seen this coin alot, so maybe there are others that even have 5. Report this Post to the Staff

Out in 1984 in silver ,..gold plated ,..and nickel examples.. This is the tougher silver example.. Hope to see other quint examples here.. Report this Post to the Staff
okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5591 Posts	Posted 10/22/2015 12:00 pm Oh, Devlec, what a little play on words. When I (and you) were growing up we used to hear a great deal about those kids. Now, I'll bet that there aren't 2 people out of 20 less than 40 years old who have evn heard of the name(s).

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 10/22/2015 12:17 pm okiecoiner...You are probably right again.. ..But so many of us here are "old farts" ..and therefore would probably remember the Dionne quints quite well. Report this Post to the Staff
