I know that 1953-1957 have waterline varieties, but cannot find any references or examples for 1959. Can anyone help me out? See photos...the coin has obviously been harshly cleaned, but I don't think the waterlines are due to wear or damage. Thoughts? Many thanks!! Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9875 Posts	Posted 01/07/2023 5:07 pm Definitely damage. The left end of the waterline appears to be sloping upward parallel to some of the scratches. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5405 Posts	Posted 01/07/2023 6:57 pm With die polishing variations in EVERY YEAR ( exception being 58 ) of the 1950s you are sure to find a 1959 with some lines shorter than others. Keep looking ! Two really interesting dollars to be on the lookout for 1952 WL with the bottom line completely polished out , 1956 Short Waterlines . Agree with DBM on your 1959 though ! Appears to be slight damage Report this Post to the Staff
