coinman91 Pillar of the Community Canada 668 Posts	Posted 03/10/2021 10:17 am I thought I'm seeing some type of ridge above the 3 extending to the leaf however it's extremely faint and these were the best pics I could get unfortunately. Was just curious as to if anyone else could see anything. Thanks for your reply coinfrog! Report this Post to the Staff
JohnWayne007 Pillar of the Community Canada 1186 Posts	Posted 03/10/2021 10:46 am I see it, but it is pretty minor if it is truly present, the 1963 hanging 3 is pretty common and more sought after in higher grade. Good for a collection if you are just starting out but not worth more then face value in that condition.

TerryT Pillar of the Community Canada 821 Posts	Posted 03/13/2021 12:55 pm What you are seeing is a ridge caused by the dies hitting each other with no blank between them. This error is sometimes referred to as a flag over the 3. It is from the curve of the Queen's chin and neck. It looks like this on high grade coins. Report this Post to the Staff
