I should clarify my statement. : The majority seen are in the XF45-AU50 range: I was
referring to the PCGS stats. I will definitely bow to pginrh and his expertise in this
area. If you have a 1947 ML C7 it would be wise to send it to ICCS and then attend a
few coin shows and run it by a few knowledgeable dealers for their opinion.

Dusting off the 1947s thread. By chance, is anyone actively attempting to collect the 11 die of the Curved and Straight 7 (no ML) variety?  Die 1 - 6 Straight 7, and 7 - 11 Curved 7 2014 Charlton, vol #68, the Special Section at the back featuring King Geo VI 50c contains clear, crisp photos in order to identify each of the 11 different die. A seek and search challenge for sure! Die 10 - characterized by a flat-back 9 Wide date, Straight 4, Curved 7/7 (double 7)  Edited by wildflowerAB

The usually encountered Grade of 1947 Curved 7 Maple Leaf is Fine to VF. This attests to a certain volatility of circulation.
It is truly a difficult coin to acquire. A nice EXF to AU is a true prize , seldom seen.
Agree with Everest.....the 1948 Canada Silver Dollar is simply a money coin available every coin show in quantity and very overrated.

Thanks for your insight Pacificoin!
I suppose not knowing the mintage of the ''47 50c curved ML adds another element of intrigue. Mintage is 38,433 for both ML types, however the straight "7" ML variety is very common compared to the curved ML "7". The release was certainly not anywhere near 1/2 and 1/2.
80/20? May still be high but even that would only leave a mintage of 7,600 ML curved 7.
The 1948 SD, mintage 18,780. By comparison, mintage is far higher.

The detective in me thinks only one Reverse Die for the Curved 7 Maple Leaf circulation strike. Of the half dozen or so I have personally bought and sold over the years all were uncanny in appearance to the one posted here.

Just curious, is this variety easy to sell at close to book value as a 48 dollar?

Here are my 1947 straight and curved 7. Don't have the maple leafs. I think the straight 7 is a wide date and the curved 7 is narrow. They are in a plastic sleeve, so the scratch on CANADA is not on the coin. Comments or corrections welcome.   |

Hi Tee. The curved 7 is a narrow date, Die 7 per Charltons 68th.
The straight 7 appears to be a die 2 and I cannot see any evidence of 7/7.

Nice addition to your collection torgemco.
I think ICCS got the comment wrong though.
It should read "Triple 7", not "Double 7"
as all straight 7 ML have a triple 7.

The price of the 1947ML curved 7 variety has somewhat baffled me, why it's been so high in the recent past and indeed it seems a price correction is overdue PCGS has graded a total of 40 ML C7 coins across all circulated and uncirculated grades. They have graded 120 1921 5c. Along with the 1889 10c, and 1893 RT3 10c, the C7 ML 50c is one of my picks for most undervalued Canadian coin, even at their lofty prices. I offered a seller $8k for a PCGS SP-66 ML C7 a few years back, he turned me down flat. I'm glad he did, because that was way more than it was worth in hindsight! |
