Large bead or small bead on 1965 canadian nickel

I can’t count the beads. I don’t know why my brain is refusing... large bead is I believe 138 and small bead is 119. Anyone know a better way to figure this out??

I just took your photo and divvied it up into quarters. I counted 33 beads. So if I multiply that by four it comes closest to your 138 number. Not very scientific but easier than counting each bead!

 

The quality of the enlargement of your photo is too blurry. The slightest movement when taking a photo will cause enlargements to be fuzzy. Try perching your camera on two stacks of books or something similar for rigidity and lack of camera movement.

 

119 beads. Small bead variety. 30 beads/quarter, ie. 119.

Brain says one thing, fingers type ????

 

Randy your brilliant!!

 

Naawww.... Not so much. I just excel at taking the easy road!!

 

Is this better?

 

Actually, no. The complete coin is necessary. However, your coin is the common, small bead, variety.

 

Maybe this will enable you to see the difference.

 

Here is another description similar to the previous post

 

I have a few Canadian Nickels. Maybe I should check them out.

 

Looks like the large bead to me. Which one is worth . . . . . .

I agree with the small bead variety determination.

 

Also, the centres of the roman numerals (II) do not point directly to the beads

 

Look at the I in Regina in relation to the bead

 

Lg bead

 

In the small bead, you think that you can get one of the beads between the gap of any of other 2 beads. In the large beads, you see that there is no way it will fit in the gap.
