My tired eyes just can't count the denticals right now.

148 small denticals or 120 large denticals for this variety.

Count the denticles between the lines. Thats how I do it rather than trying to count them all. In the small variety there is one less.

They are also known as the near Canada and far Canada varieties because of the distance canada is away from the denticles. There is a noticable gap in the small denticle far Canada variety. This is easier on the eyes than trying to count denticles and are easy to spot without magnification. The pl coins only come in the large denticle variety.

Just so I have this straight, it's the small denticles with far Canada that has more value. Correct? (don't know why this is hard to sink in LOL)
