Obviously, I voted yes. Very low mintages, large coin, last of the voyageur reverse, abundant varieties and grade rarities...

I think this is a sleeper series - the comments made earlier by glenzy1 echo those made years ago about Elizabeth II silver dollars. Look how popular ' Ike dollars' have become in recent years with US collectors...

True That. I feel it' a good series also. Too bad I dumped my Ike's last year.

pginrh is right, I am finding new varieties almost every month. This month, I found a 1974 VCR #6 dollar, with a die crack linking all the reverse beads (like the 1973 variety seen in the new Charlton).

I am aware of the die cracks from 1973-1975 on the nickel dollars, both obverse and reverse sides - but what I was eluding to in my earlier post, it is the first time I have see one on a VCR #6 dies variety, on the reverse beads.
