1995 Popsicle Beads

Using my microscope I noticed that the beads near some of the 11 corners on the obverse of the 1995 dollar coin had attachments that linked the bead to the rim. Of 100 other 1995 Loonies coins I found 3 other examples.

Re: 1986 SP 50c scar face

Thanks for clarifying the status, I agree that it is a Proof.
Regarding the scar, I’m not sure it’s a scratch as the pics show branching (running up the cheek near the nose and down, near the back of the jaw).
Your thoughts are as always, welcome!

1974 Reclining Queen

I’ve just checked my 1974 50 cent coins and the one on the right has the queen reclining backwards.
Any comments on what I should do at this point?
