MJT Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 2:55 pm Quite new to collecting classic coinage. Just wondering if this blunt 7 variant is common? It is not listed on Charlton. Report this Post to the Staff

Max L Valued Member Canada 258 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 4:39 pm The 1947 blunt 7 is quite common and worth around 135 in that condition but due to the repunched 4 it`s worth around 150. The 1947 dollar with a maple leaf is rarest one out of the 1947 dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
TheCoinGeezer Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 4:43 pm I just checked the Charlton Catalog (2012 edition). It has a special section on dollar varieties and a 47 blunt 7 repunched 4 is not listed anywhere in the catalog. Report this Post to the Staff
Max L Valued Member Canada 258 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 4:48 pm Many minor varieties aren't listed in the revised dollar variety sections. Normally a repunched number in the date doesn't offer a huge premium. Report this Post to the Staff
TheCoinGeezer Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 5:41 pm The repunched 4 is noted for the pointed 7 variety, so one would think it would also be reported in the blunt 7 type. Report this Post to the Staff
MJT Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 6:51 pm TheCoinGeezer..The coin is no doubt blunt 7. However I do see your point for requesting a close up on the date because I had purchased another 1947 where the ICCS certificate says Blunt 7 AU-55 when the actual coin is Pointed 7 QHP EF-45. Total error by ICCS. Report this Post to the Staff
TheCoinGeezer Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 7:02 pm ICCS has been known to make attribution errors, I even have a 1958 dime in a holder that says it's a 1961. Report this Post to the Staff
coingirl Previously Ousted Canada 398 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 7:17 pm Max, the 1947 P7 Dot is by far the rarest of the bunch.. Report this Post to the Staff
Max L Valued Member Canada 258 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 7:58 pm Yes your right coingirl, I was thinking of the fifty cent pieces (1947 ML Curved 7). Thank you for the correction. Report this Post to the Staff
MJT Valued Member Canada 196 Posts	Posted 03/12/2012 8:51 pm To be even more specific, 1947 P7 dot DHP is the primo of the 1947. Just could not understand why the dot 1947 is cheaper than 1948. Report this Post to the Staff
