Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5397 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 11:39 am Large . The Small Beads Dollar and how it came about has been hammered endlessly on this forum. You are NEVER EVER going to find one in the wild. The alleged 485 pieces ended up with a prominent Eastern Canadian Coin Dealer back in the day . They were then distributed to dealers across Canada and sold for a very high premium right from day one. The 1966 Small Beads Silver Dollar ( along with the Dot 1936 1 and 10 Cents ) is probably amongst the least understood Canadian Coin . The best Diagnostic for this coin aside from one side being mint State and the other being Prooflike ( as the coins were struck in the Numismatic mint outlet in Hull Quebec) is to have a large auction invoice or sales receipt for the coin which would be in a PCGS , NGC, ICCS or other prominent certified holder . A nice one easily brings 4800 CAD or more . Report this Post to the Staff
TheBurnz Pillar of the Community Canada 586 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 12:29 pm The reverse seemed large but the reverse seemed very small and I couldn't see the beads getting any smaller. Thank you for the info. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5397 Posts	Posted 05/08/2018 12:43 pm Has absolutely nothing to do with the reverse of the Coin . The Reverse does not have beads . Those are known as dentils or as some call them Denticles. The obverse is where the bead are . Report this Post to the Staff
