D Pillar of the Community Canada 899 Posts	Posted 09/09/2009 05:22 am The I in Regina on the small beads points directly at the center of the bead and the beads are spaced further apart. The I on the large beads points off center and in the middle and the beads are closer together. Hope this helps you some......... Report this Post to the Staff

coinsnpaper Valued Member Canada 480 Posts	Posted 09/30/2009 02:30 am Just curious- have you checked that it actually is a SILVER dollar- it looks suspiciously like one of the Chinese cast counterfeits- those look like casting flaws in the pictures of the beads-pocks and pitting, plus raised bumps. Does it sound like silver, if you were to ring it next to a different silver dollar? Is the colour the same? Is the reflection of light of the surface under a magnifying glass the same as a good Canadian Dollar? There look like there are bumps in the hair,as well as problems with the beads and letters. Is the rim the same thickness all around? It could be just the angle of the photograph, but the coin looks to have good beads near the thick rim, and weak beads nearer the thinner rim. I have not seen counterfeit common date Canadian silver dollars of this type, but it wouldn't surprise me, given all the other counterfeits of this type that I have seen.
