Montgomery Valued Member Canada 429 Posts	Posted 02/28/2021 07:54 am I recently added this one to my collection. It's the bug tail 1957 nickel (would say AU-55). This is the first one I found close to MS. How hard they are to find in MS? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 03/21/2021 4:28 pm Nice one! The `57 bug tail had at least 2 different dies for the obverse, which can be seen by two different sets of tool marks among the denticles. I can`t make out which obverse you have, but it would be cool to get both in such sweet shape (should you desire it, of course). Report this Post to the Staff

JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 03/21/2021 6:27 pm There is a DDO for the bug tail to keep a look out for too, you can see split serifs on the bottom right hand side of the "I" of "DEI" and the "GR" in "GRATIA".
