Libertad Pillar of the Community Canada 3692 Posts	Posted 06/13/2011 11:27 pm These are scanned pictures, so hopefully they came out okay. These all came out of circulation. I need to know if I have them indentified properly. I forget how I came by this nickel exactly. But note on the obverse, the doubled legend VI DEI and doubled hair. Also a weak strike on the "R" in GEORGIVS. Worth anything? Found this picking through my saved copper. 1959 Pointed 5 Do I have this ID'd alright? 1978 Large Denticles? My main question, though, is what would you call that clipping effect on the obverse's left and reverse's right? I put this in a mylar flip and ran a pencil over the beads and then denticles and they are all intact - none are worn down. Doubled date 1979. Not very clear in this picture. One of my better off-centre toonies. I'll never stop collecting these. This dime is off somehow. Check out the reverse's bottom-right side (5 o'clock) where there should be beads but they are just missing. Not taken, just not placed there. Again I ran a pencil test over the beads and they are not there at all. Someone's been messing with my coins! Enjoy! Edited by Libertad 06/13/2011 11:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Scissel Pillar of the Community Canada 693 Posts	Posted 06/16/2011 5:00 pm The 5c 1951 with a filled "R" is interesting but not terribly uncommon. There's lots of varieties to look for in this date. The 1978 25c has a rim clip (aka disc clip). Neat looking. Worth $4 or $5 on a very good day. The 10c 2010 was struck with a filled-die in the beading. Some crud plugged up the beads on the die so it didn't strike-up well. Similar to your 1951 5c variety/error. Again, it's numismatically interesting but not worth much premium. Good finds for circulation. You can't beat getting interesting coins for face value! Report this Post to the Staff

Could a moderator please move this to the Canada variety/error forum, please? I might get more responses there. Report this Post to the Staff
