After a very long search driven by instant regret when selling my only example when first starting out I finally found another one, these are really not that easy to come across anymore.

I have seen many 1985 blunt, have yet to confirm a pointed one. It seems much less common then the pointed 65

You're not kidding.

I am quite envious of the members here who are still able to get pennies, I haven't gotten any new (canadian) pennies since probably 2014.
I ended up buying my lone copy of the 1985 pointed five variety.

Very nice find! I'm not holding my breath for finding one as much as I expect to purchase one like the 65' LBP5. Congrats!

The first one I had found was around 2018 if I recall correctly and I have been searching rolls, bank bags (circulated), bankrolls, customer-wrapped rolls, and even BU rolls daily since then for varieties and never found another.

For the last 3 years searching daily for varieties I finally found this second one, I sold my first one with the mistake of thinking that I would find another one sooner rather than later, I did however put the funds from selling it towards the microscope that helped me find this one so it all worked out in the end.
