2010 Loonie Varieties Query.

Both the 2010 Saskatchewan Roughriders & Navy coins have a gold-plated bronze loonie that go along with the regular bronze-plated nickel ones. Charlton - Canadian Collector Coins calls them circulation finish, Haxby & Willy just calls the "Special Gold-Plated Issues".
There is a 2009 Montreal Canadiens 100th Anniversary and a 2002 Centre Ice loonie which are also gold-plated bronze.
I haven't purchased the Canadien coin, yet.

I know of 15 different 2010 Loons and heard about 2 more.
I find the designation of Large/Small beads very confusing because the bead size is not obvious and because they do not describe the full set of varieties.
Using "A to/between" or "I to/between" gives a better identification, imo.
Also, PL and SP dies are quite different from BS having different bead count and different fonts and legends.
Here is my list:
2010 Loon BS: A between beads (small beads), beads from D to A - 30, distance D to A - 15mm. It is the same obverse that was used in 2006-2009
2010 Loon PL, SP: A to bead (large beads), beads from D to A - 29, distance D to A - 14mm. It is the same obverse that was used in 2006-2009
2010 Loon PL, SP, Proof: A between beads (small beads), beads from D to A - 31, distance D to A - 15mm. The obverse is specific for 2010
2010 Olympic BS, PL: both I and A point to bead, beads from D to A - 29.5, distance D to A - 14.7mm. The diff between BS and PL are in finish and rim width only.
I heard of 2010 Olympic PL with A between beads (small beads), but I've never seen a good photo of one.
2010 Olympic NBU/PL coloured nickel and Proof coloured silver
Navy: BS and gold-plated. Same obverse
Saskatchewan: BS and gold-plated. Same obverse
Northern Harrier: SP
I have not seen 2010 Loon business strike with A to bead (large bead). All examples I have seen on ebay and in online stores turned out to be PL coins.
There is an easy check for that - RCM logo is centered above a bead on BS and it points between beads on all PL strikes.

Yes seems to be confusing.
I only have 3 PL 2010 sets.
Oh Canada with RCM logo A to bead I between.
Special Edition with Navy and Saskatchewan A to and I to and Sask A to with I between no mint mark means BS. And Special Edition uncirculated set, Vancouver olympic with mens hockey womans hockey and Cindy Klassen. Inukshuk 2010 with A between and I to bead, Same as buisness strike.

My mistake, Regina A points between the beads. I had know idea we were talking about Elizabeth A. Sorry.
