thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 01/01/2017 12:52 pm this looks like it was almost a Cud, appears the broken part of the die was higher up than the rest of the die so it barely struck the planchet. very cool coin..i got it in a small lot yesterday. i'd love to get a grade and value and whatever opinions and comments the wonderful coin family has to offer Feel free to call me Will.

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 01/11/2017 12:23 pm yes, that is a die clash. the obverse die hit the reverse die. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
3193zd Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 01/11/2017 3:34 pm Got it! Thanks! Dollarman. Would that make it worth more than just a Cud? Report this Post to the Staff
CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 01/15/2017 10:06 am I am in for VF. Clashes are very common for this series but may not make it more valuable than the Cud. This was the first time the mint used nickel and they had major problems with the first several years of the series. Report this Post to the Staff
