KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/03/2008 10:54 pm Thanks to Andre for sending me this interesting coin! I've included a high resolution photo so you can appreciate the details too. Take a look at the beads near the corners of the coin--which are probably degraded due to stresses concentrated at the corners of the die. The cracks radiating from the letters in CANADA probably suggest this die had seen a lot of use when it struck this coin. What a cool coin...thanks again Andre!
