malibu Valued Member Canada 304 Posts	Posted 07/28/2010 11:25 am I just went through a roll of 2010 loon loonies from the Wpg RCM and found 4 out of 25 with the same "pedestal shaped" mark at 6 o'clock on the Obverse under the Queen's bust. It doesn't look like die clash because nothing lines up from the Rev. Any theories? The first 4 pics are microscope shots of the 4 different coins, the 5th pic is a duplicate from my digi-cam: Report this Post to the Staff

laconic Valued Member Canada 168 Posts	Posted 07/29/2010 08:32 am Nice observation! Could be a die crack variety. You should email your findings to Canadian Coin News. Who knows you may be the 1st to discover this. Report this Post to the Staff
malibu Valued Member Canada 304 Posts	Posted 07/29/2010 08:44 am Thanks Iaconic, good idea, I just sent an email to CCN. I didn't see any mention of this on that other forum in QC. Report this Post to the Staff
pennylover1010 Valued Member Canada 200 Posts	Posted 07/29/2010 6:35 pm I vote die break as well. I just looked at my roll and the first coin has the same crack under the the bust but not as pronounced as yours (and not as long). Nice find. Report this Post to the Staff
malibu Valued Member Canada 304 Posts	Posted 08/27/2010 11:07 am I got no reply from the editor at CCN nor any mention of it in issue #10 Aug 31, so I re-submitted to John Regitko "errorman" Report this Post to the Staff
