okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5591 Posts	Posted 05/18/2019 2:19 pm The CaC site also has a nice forum that folks just don't seem to post on. The CaC site is the English language portion of the French site, which gets lots of discussion there, but next to nothing on the English side. It's unfortunate that the French discussion forums don't show up in English .. it's a separate site. Here is the English Cac site http://coinsandcanada.com/forum/ And here is the French http://numicanada.com/ Edited by okiecoiner 05/18/2019 3:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9866 Posts	Posted 05/18/2019 9:19 pm Guitar and harp are not the same. Guitar strings continue all the way to the leaf,all harp strings do not. Not a die clash. Most attribute this error to overpolished die. There's a very handy die clash feature on the CAC site. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins...lities&id=89 "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
