john517 Valued Member Canada 286 Posts	Posted 03/21/2013 4:11 pm I have been obsessing over this coin, I can't really identify the variety. Usually I am quick to label them blunt 7's if I can't easily see the telltale talon of the pointed 7 but this one has me scratching my head it appears like it may be a pointed 7 with maybe a weaker strike or possibly a blunt 7 with machine error. Like I said I don't know and am open to all opinions. Report this Post to the Staff

DEVLEC Pillar of the Community Canada 3234 Posts	Posted 03/21/2013 8:13 pm That is the coolest 7. It's certainly like the pointed but the tail is a touch shorter than what I've always seen. The 9 looks a bit different at the very bottom tip too. Here's a pointed one to make a quick comparison with. Report this Post to the Staff

chequer Pillar of the Community Canada 4227 Posts	Posted 06/30/2018 9:55 pm How common is the 7/7 variety? I've seen one that appears (perhaps) like the OP's with a definite split at the bottom of the 7. Resurrecting this because I don't have photos or see the need for a new thread.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21647 Posts	Posted 07/01/2018 08:27 am The 7/7 is fairly common but still commands a premium. Not sure of actual mintage for it would depend on how many strikes they got from that particular die before it wore out. Report this Post to the Staff
