Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1223 Posts	Posted 01/12/2017 4:04 pm I would consider both far beads. With the near beads I think they're touching or almost touching the rim. Edited for grammar Cheers, Bill Edited by Hounddog Bill 01/12/2017 4:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 01/12/2017 5:24 pm To me, the top one looks near bead, but it is hard to tell. Here is a picture of near and far beads to compare. By the time you reduce it to size as, the difference is negligible. Value wise, they are both about the same. S/A Edited by JimmyD 01/12/2017 5:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 01/13/2017 7:43 pm thank you all so much yes the top coin is a near bead. but it sure is hard to tell. until you split the coin and put the pieces side by side. again thank you all for the input. Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 10/22/2017 09:52 am I am trying to determine this currently but the photos you provided are too small JimmyD. Here's my situation. http://goccf.com/t/297564 Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21630 Posts	Posted 10/22/2017 12:57 pm The Force- Don't know how two small pictures showed up. One was supposed to be larger and the other S/A to show how difficult it is to distinguish the two varieties. Here is a larger photo showing the small difference.
