zookeeperz Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 694 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 5:45 pm Hi guys I don't know if this is the norm but I have 2 1961 Dollars. But the the dude in the back of the boat has different grips on the paddle. Making one closer to the actual blade of the paddle itself. Some difference it date placings and the canoe sitting more proud than before. Is this a know variety?.Interested to hear your thoughts Edited by zookeeperz 01/25/2015 5:45 pm Report this Post to the Staff

thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 5:49 pm I think the hand on paddle differences are just illusions caused by a combo of both wear and strike, the canoe line is known for being weak. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
zookeeperz Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 694 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 6:24 pm If you look at his nuckle its amost touching the water. on the first coin its way above. Also look at the indian in the first coin his gaze is sideways and in the second his eyes are set forward. Also the second canoe is on clam water . First canoe almost looks like its going across the current the way the wave ripples are flowing Report this Post to the Staff

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2517 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 7:25 pm I second SilverDon. I was just about to comment on the different pic sizes you have. Not to mention the lighting on your coins are skewing the picture results to what you're wanting to see. Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 7:30 pm any difference is just strike, die ware or circulation caused, there was only one hub for silver dollars reverse dies which would make it impossible for true variations in spacing besides date spacing.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 8:38 pm The knuckles are slightly closer to the water level on the second coin. Just a minor variation in working dies. Report this Post to the Staff

There are no known major reverse die variations of the 1961 dollar save for die clashing (minor ) resulting in the so called Arrowhead single and double. Me thinks you are seeing things that just are not there. You have a pair of common circulated dollars of 1961. Report this Post to the Staff
