kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 02/15/2013 2:04 pm Yes there are Blunt 7 varieties with Double HP and 7/7. Looks like a DHP to me. Not as sure about the 7 though. My eyes aren't what they used to be :-). I've added a couple of pictures of mine you can compare against. These are 2 different coins. The 7's are punched on different angles so you see that the top line and the point (blunt?) don't quite line up. Report this Post to the Staff
RoyalSilver Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 02/15/2013 3:04 pm question, would this be die doubling, or simply a result of re-punches? Report this Post to the Staff
LondonCoin CCF Sponsor Canada 149 Posts	Posted 02/18/2013 01:26 am Definitely a 7/7 variety, with double HP. Not sure if it was due to re-cut dies, or double punched. I would guess re-cut dies? Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 02/18/2013 10:29 am The matrices for voyageur dollars of this era were not fully dated.The last digit was punched by hand into each working die.It normally takes more than one impression with the punch.7/7 would most likely be the result of an unsteady hand. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 02/18/2013 10:29 am Report this Post to the Staff
