quimpler Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 10/14/2013 11:54 pm Checking out some 65 sets I have, trying to familiarize myself with the different varieties of the dollar. Would I be correct in saying that I have an example here of a blunt 5 and a pointed 5? I always thought the pointed 5's were, well, pointier... Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 10/15/2013 12:12 am The bottom 5 is pointier on the bottom,the difference shows up well in your pics. Which one is rarer? The bead variety and the grade must be considered in conjunction with the five to determine value.Full pics of both sides required. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 10/15/2013 12:13 am Report this Post to the Staff
quimpler Valued Member Canada 64 Posts	Posted 10/15/2013 12:17 am I notice as well the blunt 5 variety is actually pointed at the spot where the vertical line of the 5 meets the arc, whereas the pointed 5 is truncated at this spot. Interesting. Another way to tell I guess. They are both small beads on the obverse, and still sealed in mint sets, but they do somehow still manage to get scratches and dings on them sometimes regardless of being still in the cellophane.
