chris86 Valued Member Canada 185 Posts	Posted 06/02/2012 11:10 am I'm thinking of selling my 1950 Silver Dollar but need some help determining which variety I have. I'm certain it's not the "four full waterlines variety". Do you think this is the 2 1/2 waterlines variety (Arnprior) or the "3 or 4 short waterlines variety (SWL)? Thanks for your help! Here is a picture and close-up: Report this Post to the Staff

glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 06/02/2012 11:45 am Confirmed SWL as per page 200 of The 2012 Charlton cat. Also it is the most valuable/scarcest of all the 1950 Varieties. Glenn Report this Post to the Staff

RoyalSilver Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 06/02/2012 11:57 am There are also "rays" missing on the end right end of the canoe, this variety is found on the SWL and Arnprior varieties. Therefore you have SWL; Missing Rays variety AKA 1950 Rev.-011...i believe Value for this type is as follows VF-20 $40 EF-40 $42 AU-50 $45 MS-60 $50 MS-63 $110 Report this Post to the Staff

54dollarcoin Valued Member Canada 475 Posts	Posted 06/02/2012 8:43 pm The 1950 issue of the Silver Dollar is arguably the most interesting issue of the entire 1935-1967 Silver Dollar series. There are numerous other minor varieties NOT even mentioned in Charlton. For instance there are ,even large 0 in date ,low small 0 in date. Missing "EH" , satin finish, (where all the Reverse #007 Logs on Island " are found) bright finish.For a so so mintage of 261,002 pieces there is a ton of fun to be had with the 1950!
