I think you do have the pointed 7, I said that above. I'll post a scan in a bit of the three varieties of 47's most commonly acknowledged.

Examples  I have some circulated versions of these cents on hand from a couple weeks ago found looking through a margarine container full of odds and ends in which I found some Indian heads including one with a clipped planchet. Was an odd lot of pennies. |

Ugly thank you for the pics. I didn't know anything about a pointed 7 until you first mentioned it. I can see the pointed 7 clearly now. So that's 1947 ML Pt-7? Neat find with those Indian pennies! I have a several of those too!  Edited by HeadsIWin

-DBM- You answered -headsIwin-'s question very well and the best of all, without a side show / tell of what you got!  ---To your last point, I think I understand that you are patriotic, proud to be Canadian, a caring Numismatist and the (Maple Leaf) represents that. ---So am I! Oh Canada!---I'm also sure that -Scooby Due- is right that they do try. ---I too have Emailed a suggestion that was not replied to, but think that they may get distracted to other needs or that the questions have already been addressed. Ether way communication is very important, so with that another suggestion they maybe improve on it. ---I'm sure that they will eventually get to it, sooner is probably better to prevent bad thoughts or feelings and I certainly hope that you are wrong about the (Persona Non Grata) and hope you now get a reply! Regards.

Just wondering if you have seen another one of these around, it's a 1948 Canadian Penny (1947 with the Maple Leaf) with what looks like a blunt seven, but the maple leaf appears to be actually on the seven about a third of the way from the bottom. Thought maybe it was a die chip at first, but you can definitely make out five points on the spot... Also there appears to be either a die crack above the left maple leaf, or it could possibly be a scratch. The left leg of the "a" in "Canada" looks a little funny compared to normal too. Just Curious, Thanks! (Tried Uploading a Pic, but wouldn't work)

There we go! You can kind of see it in this image, the blob about a third of the way up from the seven actually has 5 distinct points as does the maple leaf, if anyone would like a higher quality pic that shows it more clearly just email me at *** Email Removed by Staff *** and I'll send you one. Has anybody seen another 47 Maple Leaf like this? Also what do you think this coin would be valued at? I thought it was a pointed seven at first, but after taking a picture and zooming in it looks like it could be a blunt seven?

One more thing, I've read in several different places that both the blunt seven and the pointed seven are the rarer, more valuable coin? Depending on what site I'm looking at it seems to be flopped around about 50% of the time, just wondering if anybody knows for sure which one it is exactly, were the blunt sevens with a leaf a higher minted coin, or was it the sharp sevens with a leaf?

fyi..
I noticed on many used/worn coins; it is hard to see a pointed 7 because the point end actually got banged/hit/smashed, so 7 appears to be a blunt version of the 7.
you almost need AU/MS coin to see pointed 7 very clear.

Too confuse things even more,look for the NEAR/FAR and HIGH/LOW maple leaf!

So is the MLeaf physically on the lower part of the seven of "1947" a well known or a common error?

The leaf must have been hand punched.It seems to float all over.Not just high/low,etc.There is even small,medium and large maple leaves.The ones I have vary in size and position.(Of course it could be normal wear too for the different sizes)  As for rareity in the varieties,I have no idea what is what.Which are rarer etc. Maybe there is no real rare ones.Most of mine are in circulated or B.U. condition.ONLY ONE is in MS condition.(The pointed high 7-far leaf) Uwewho The low M.L. (for example)is just below the right tip of the 7(not directly beside it.) When I get a chance I will post pics to show the diferences. Right now I`m getting ready for a 5 day deep woods camping and fishing trip  (We leave tomorrow)  Hang in there pics will come eventually Edited by collectall

Under the FWIW column, there recently has been found, another 'type ML. It is a 'filled die', and is not well defined. One of the forums posted the info. Maybe I can re-locate it, later.
Collectal, I gave given you some erroneous info, re myself. When I was quite active here, I still had my vision, and could focus on the details, using a 10X loope. Not so today. I am "legally blind", and have to use 20X-40X to see. Not easy, but still the main part of my collecting, so if I can, "blow it up big enough, I'll tell you what it is. LOL
