twholt New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 08/29/2015 11:11 am I am sorry if this ends up in the wrong place. I recently bought a 1951 Canadian Silver Dollar, this is the first one I have seen. I live in Mississippi so I am a long way from the border. I am going to post a picture later after I get off work. I only have two quick questions. Is the reverse of the coin supposed to be rotated? Every other Canadian coin I have seen the obverse and reverse are the opposite of American coins. The one I have the reverse is rotated maybe 20/25 degrees from the obverse. Also, I am getting confused with the SWL designation. Sorry for no picture yet, I would get in trouble for posting it at work. I will try and get a good picture up tonight when I get home. Thank you for your help, I rarely post on here but every time I do I get very good information about my coin! Report this Post to the Staff

This is a picture of an ICCS certified SWL for comparison. Note that each line is shorter than the one above. Report this Post to the Staff
twholt New Member United States 27 Posts	Posted 08/29/2015 11:47 am I think that mine might have the SWL. I just don't know enough about this type of coin. So the rotated die isn't uncommon enough to make a difference? Also, what are the high points on the coin for grading standards? Report this Post to the Staff
