    well, there's a part of the story that the above mentioned article left out.

    The totem pole features a raven, which is said to be a symbol of death in native American culture.

    Therefore the coin features a "death totem". That's the part of the story that I find interesting!

    I picked up this 2013 specimen set for the $2 coin with the bears. Frustratingly I can't get a good closeup picture of the Bears. I can't scan through the plastic well enough. 2013 Canada specimen set.JPG

    Heres a 1858 Large Cent I just pick up from stldanceartist.
    Heres a quote on this coin from Bill in Burl:
    The '58 is a Turner OC1/RB5 and it was approx 9.3% of the 1858's minted. This coin was late in the striking run, with the D/C at leaf 6 first, then the T, then leaf 7. then leaves 11 & 14.... you have all of them 22.jpg
