canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 08/18/2017 8:15 pm The 2017 is caching up. Still, it's pretty clear that the old design is more appealing to most collectors. Looking more closely I think the old font is better. Thinner. I never liked bold characters. The thinner rim and the beads closer to the rim give the impression that the 1967 coin is larger, cleaner. I don't like the 'moustache' on the 2017. Finally, I now realize that the frost on the 2017 is too pronounced. At first I thought the RCM did well on the frost but now I'm backing up a bit on that statement. Report this Post to the Staff

Ever since a 50c 2012 gold coin that had the bluenose in frosted relief, I've been adamant that I just don't like it. In my opinion, they use the frosting to cover up some not so good engraving.
