Found this nickel in my change from the DQ drive thru. The beads on the reverse are faint in spots.   |

Are those weak spots on the beads from overused dies?

Can't wait until we start to see all of the 2018 coins in circulation.
Still trying to find people who get change rather than using credit or debit. I am not out shopping very often and the larger purchased items such as gas and groceries are spent with credit card.

Still have to wait until we find them in Toronto though, big city, big demand.

What is the correct alignment of the 8 for the 2018 date? Below is a picture taken from ebay and you can see how different the placement of the 8 (date) is from the circulated coin above!  |

How strange that the 8 would be so huge in relation to the other digits. Seems like a problem engravers might have had 100+ years ago.
Numidan: Very cool! I guess that image is of a PL strike or some other collector production. It would be really neat if there were dramatic High Date and Low Date varieties for the circulation strikes.

I've always liked the beaver design.
The 8 does look rather large.

@Numidan-- sure is a difference in the placement of the 8 in your photo and the coin I found. Thanks for posting. I have not found another 2018 coin since, still looking.
