Hi guys Is this what they call a High 7 in this 1977 nickel...?  Does this look like a double K on this same 1977 nickel...?  |

I borrowed this image from another high - low 7 topic from canadian_coins  Looks clearly like a high 7 to me. Edited by TNG

Thanks TheNickelGuy
Thought it was, but wanted a second opinion.

Hi Wert. It's the high seven, but keep any that are in top condition. There is an oddity on the high 7 versus the low 7, that being the over polishing of the reverse die. You'll know it when you see it, not similar to the BB but definitely noticeably clear areas.
Edit spelling

staircase...The one I posted never got into circulation, got it from a bank in 1977, so it is a good quality. SHAFTA9a...I hope you don't mean you have 12 rolls of low 7 nickels...

Well... found another high 7, but there is a little twist, this one is rotated 10.2 degrees...see pic below. Nothing to write home about, but neat.   Edited by wert

I've heard that there is also a small bead type and a large bead type of the high 7 variety. Wert, judging by your 2 posted photos, you may have one of each (check denticle size below the date). Is this true? Has anyone else out there seen or come across these varieties? I realize that in worn coins the rim can be flattened out over the denticles to give the illusion of the small bead variety, but what about nickels that are still in ms shape?

They are different pennysaver, you are correct.
I have never heard of a 1977 nickel small/large bead...But I will try to find some information about it.

It's a variety that I haven't been able to find out much about; I don't have any books that list varieties and I haven't had any luck with a google search. I do, however, have a pair of 1977's that show the same difference as yours, but I've never seen a picture comparing the actual varieties so I never knew for sure if that's what they were talking about. And now that I've seen yours I'm starting to think that this might be so. I'll keep looking into it, too, and maybe one of us will come up with some definite info.

We could be chasing a ghost here pennysaver.
I will continue to investigate further and hope some one else has a little more information on this topic that can set us straight.

I'm curious to hear more about this too. I only know about the High/Low 7 varieties, but I have several put aside that I could revisit if I knew what I was looking for.

These are listed in
Price Guide for Canadian Coins (Professional Edition)by Micheal K. Blais
but no pictures.
Short denticles are priced about twice the value of long denticles.
