Well, when it comes to nickel dollar errors... you don't have to look far when the time comes to sell!

1977 business strike nickel dollar, despite being one of the lowest mintage dollars, this one is fairly easy to find in MS-65 (only the 1982 Constitution dollar, 1968 and 1973 dollar are easier to find in MS-65). There are three varieties for this year, long recognized by dealers and Canadian Coin News Trends, but only in the 2013 Charlton volume, will those three varieties be in the front section of the book.

This one is PCGS MS-66, detached jewel, short waterlines (I am not going to bother to show the other two varieties in this thread).

CC-Ottawa, I love the design of the 1976 Library of Parliament dollar. I am going to have to get myself one!
