Do you have a photo of a "small bead" for a side-by-side comparison? I'd prefer a photo of the same size, if possible.

I apologize for getting off track on the coin. (this and later posts)

 

here are small and large

 

Thanks for the prompt reply! It looks like a large bead to me. I don't collect Canadian coinage, so can you tell me what the significance is between the two?

are we talking about a nickel or 25 cents

is this not a nickel,,it looks like a nickel ..cheers

 

Sorry, looks like I got hung up on the initial pics where I could only see the Obverse and not the Reverse, and I thought it was a cent. When the other pics came, I still was thinking cent and did not notice it was a nickel. My mistake.

 

Wow! That's quite a difference in price even though it's only a guide. Is VF20 @ $500?

it it is a nickel that is what it looks like in op photos I is extremely rare and value

 

On a nickel, a large bead and small bead has a different point to look at.

 

Looks like a large bead from your pics, but you should also determine how many beads are on it. The Large Bead version has 138 Beads, and the Small Bead version has 119. That is enough of a difference to use it to confirm so that die wear is not contributing to your decision.

 

last picture for today

 

The Large Bead value goes from 150.00 for VF20 to 3000.00 for MS64 according to the 2009 Canadian Coins book.
