Huck50 Valued Member Canada 115 Posts	Posted 03/25/2020 2:54 pm Is it common to change the finer detail of a coin from just one year to the next? Look at the jewel in red oval,each one is different. Edited by Huck50 03/25/2020 4:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff

SP67 Valued Member Canada 234 Posts	Posted 03/25/2020 3:43 pm Can you add pictures of the reverse too? Usually, a weak strike also shows some evidences on both sides. Report this Post to the Staff

In the nickel dollar series... yes, it is common. Little things were changed all the time, for example look at where the waterlines meet the denticles in 1968 and 1969 dollars.
