Hounddog Bill Pillar of the Community Canada 1222 Posts	Posted 09/22/2021 3:04 pm I agree with EF45-AU50 very nice coin. Here's a little info I've collected on this one. Obverse: If you look closely you may find a light circular die crack running through Victoria & Canada. There should also be a small dot between the "D" & "A" in Canada just above the letters and below the inner beads. (Picture below) The die crack found at the "N" in Regina is distinct in itself. This obverse was also paired with another reverse that is popularly referred to as the Bead punch reverse. Not to be outdone by the bead punch reverse the reverse on your coin (above) has a very nice re-punched last "8" in the date. (Picture below) Congrats! Very nice coin in great condition. Cheers, Bill Report this Post to the Staff
