yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 04/29/2020 12:50 pm I have several rolls of brilliant uncirculated 5 cent coins I've had for 40 years. I have seen this variety in Canadian Coins and their varieties, by Pierre Charest, 9th ed 2012. He does not describe any other attributes clarifying the two types, but I had conversations years ago with a Canadian who described what I see on these coins. Basically on coins with a closed 5 the leaf is close to the denticles, and the 9 also comes closer to the denticles. On the open 5 variety both the leaf and the 9 are farther from the denticles. Check it out. Report this Post to the Staff

SP67 Valued Member Canada 234 Posts	Posted 04/29/2020 3:39 pm You will find here some information about this coin. (Sorry it's in french !) But I can resume by Die Deterioration. So we can find many variant between the open and closed 5. You will see few pictures in the following links. https://5centscanada.1fr1.net/t1407...rme-closed-5 http://www.numicanada.com/forum/vie...4abbc#p67293 Report this Post to the Staff
yontan Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 05/01/2020 2:25 pm Thanks for your response. After checking my coins, I can see that the differences are probably due to Die Deterioration. Thanks again. Bill. Report this Post to the Staff
