"25 cents 1973 - Royal Canadian Mounted Police" was this the Small bust or the Large bust 25c for 1973? In 1973 a more detailed, smaller and finer design bust was used for the queen, the difference is mainly in the hair when compared to a Pre 1973 25c. The scarce Large Bust 25c has the image of the queen that was used on the 1972 and prior 25c. The "mule" large bust coins were in circulation as well as the same mistake happened with the proof sets. The Large bust bust 1973 can be worth $25 in average circulated condition and up. I found only one LB 1973 in circulation after 20+ years of looking, and managed to buy a few of the proof sets along the way, but not as fun as finding one in the wild. Kyle.
