I was wondering is this would qualify as a SWL variety? Also wondering if there is there anything else that makes this coin unique, that my untrained eye is not seeing?

Would be grateful for any help on this...

Thanks guys, all opinions are welcome. The water lines do not seem to be complete, nor do they seem to fit the actual definition of a SWL. Ah well, think I will tuck it away, and hang on to it for a while.

SWL stands for SANS water line------NOT short water lines.
The arnprior 1955 is 2.5 water lines at the right (Out of three)
Any trace of bottom 4th. line is a dis-qualifier.
In addition in GRATIA - the T and I are joined through doubling.

BUT-- I must correct myself- your 1951 sure looks like a SWL according to price guides.
I have to educate myself much more.

From my understanding of a SWL none of the waterlines can touch the front of the canoe. There are still the 3 waterlines present on a SWL but none can touch the canoe and they are usually progressively shorter water lines. On a ARN dollar it is usually considered a 1 1/2 water line with again no waterlines may touch the canoe.
The dollar in the picture clearly shows the top waterline touching the canoe so it would be disqualified from being a SWL. Again just my opinion
