SPP-Ottawa Moderator Canada 10456 Posts	Posted 02/24/2018 9:58 pm I took your excellent images and tried and tried to do an overlay, matching up elements on the Queen and obverse legend on both coins - and it was impossible... these are two different obverses. Look closely at the designers initials S.B., especially the 'S' So - I did finally do an overlay, but I build a 12-sided frame in Adobe Illustrator and lined up the shapes of the coins (peak of the rim at the top being north). The beads are a little nearer to the rim with one Type, but their positions are unchanged. The RCM Logo is relatively unchanged, but the legend is the biggest change!! That is why we see the A of Elizabeth pointing to a bead in one Type, and not the other... This is where computer-generated designs come into play. The font height is the same for both, but the kerning between the letters is less (tighter) with the A pointing to bead type (Type 1) "Discovery follows discovery, each both raising and answering questions, each ending a long search, and each providing the new instruments for a new search." -- J.

Dennman Valued Member Canada 496 Posts	Posted 02/25/2018 8:30 pm Those are pics of the same coin (#1?).I think you'll have to change a file name to get #2 to appear. Report this Post to the Staff

rocky Pillar of the Community Canada 2784 Posts	Posted 02/26/2018 2:08 pm wanted to photograph the type 1 and type2 again same lighting same mag. both images came out at 20MP each. so all I did was change the lighting. the coins are back inside 2x2. to be photographed. so every thing is the same. these coins was both cut out of specimen sets. as you can see they are numbered one after the other. there is no editing just resizing. to fit here ok here they are Report this Post to the Staff
The Awesome Guys Coins Valued Member Canada 150 Posts	Posted 02/26/2018 4:35 pm I think I see a color tone change in the two loonies, type 2 being lighter on the tone, more post-2012-like / brass-like. Anyone else notice that? Report this Post to the Staff
Canadianpennyman Valued Member Canada 55 Posts	Posted 06/17/2021 10:24 pm Scissel & SPP-Ottawa - I know I'm revisiting an old thread but thought you might be able to help me. I'm getting back into collecting after years of dormancy and now want to branch into varieties. I've put together what I think is a comprehensive list of the circulation loonie varieities. Would you mind checking this list to see if I've either missed any major varieties or included any that weren't actually issued in circulation (or will be virtually impossible to find)? I'd really appreciate your help. 2020 - UN 2020 2019 - Equality 2019 2018 2017 - 150 years 2017 - Maple Leafs 2016 - Lucky 2016 - Vote 2016 2015 2014 - Lucky 2014 2013 2012 - Grey Cup 2012 - Lucky 2012 - Security 2012 - No Security 2011 - Parks 2011 2010 - Navy 2010 - Roughriders 2010 - lucky 2010 2009 - Canadiens 2009 2008 - lucky 2008 2007 2006 - lucky 2006 RCM 2006 2005 - Terry Fox No Grass 2005 - Terry Fox 2005 2004 - lucky 2004 2003 - no crown 2003 - crown 2002 - '52-02 1996 1995 - Peacekeeper 1995 1994 - Memorial 1994 1993 1992 - Parliament 1992 1991 1990 1989 1988 1987 Report this Post to the Staff
mice45 Valued Member Canada 106 Posts	Posted 06/19/2021 12:38 am Pennyman, the list is mostly complete for circulation loon-style dollars. You are missing 2020 UN colored. And two 2021 Klondike dollars (colored and regular) that are coming in August. 2003 crowned was not issued for circulation to the best of my knowledge. Though there 2003 Crowned with circulation finish that were issued as RCM products. Same for 2000 and 2001 - they were not for general circulation, but once they are removed from their sets they look like normal business strike dollars. As for varieties, I find it interesting that there were distinct dies for PL and NCLT strikes that differ in the device size and legend font on both obverse and reverse. I know of 2 kinds for years 2006 to 2009 and for 2008 Lucky Loon - 1 circulation and 1 PL/GiftSets. For 2010 there are 3 varieties for each Loon and Vancouver. Report this Post to the Staff
