chadcoins Pillar of the Community Canada 1159 Posts	Posted 03/29/2023 12:36 am I just found this 1941 today and these 2 coins are identical. The plating is pealing on the reverse of mine. The coin is to shinny for that year. If you look at the big gash on Lincoln back and the plating went over it. Report this Post to the Staff
