BRUCE 1947 Pillar of the Community United States 834 Posts	Posted 11/04/2007 6:20 pm Bill. In 1957 I see there is a variety called the bug tail type , can this coin be found in roll searching Canadian nickels and is it common to find one ? And to have a complete set would you need this and the regular 1957 ? Thanks Bruce. Report this Post to the Staff

bromac Valued Member Canada 195 Posts	Posted 11/05/2007 5:27 pm That's a good question. It's not shown in Charlton but there is a price for it in CCN trends. Also there is no place for it in my Guardmaster album.I think I bid on one on E-bay once but didn't get it.I really don't feel that I need one to complete my collection but that's just me. On one hand the fact that it is not as well known as,say, the 1964 "extra water line" might make it easier to find in change but on the other hand nickels from the 50's don't show up very often any more.

Topher Pillar of the Community Canada 965 Posts	Posted 11/05/2007 8:15 pm I have yet to find a 1957 bugtail or a 1964 XWL in probably $3000 worth of nickels so far, if that helps. It's actually quite rare to find anything older than the early 60s in circulation anymore as it is. I don't believe a 1957 bugtail is needed to have a complete set. There is also a 2001 bugtail for those of you hunting the varieties. Report this Post to the Staff
chrycopaul Pillar of the Community Canada 1106 Posts	Posted 11/06/2007 9:48 pm I have found a few bug tails searching rolls. The "bug" is nothing more than a die chip at the end of the beavers tail, much like the 1946 arrow head in 6 "variety". Edited by chrycopaul 11/06/2007 11:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 11/07/2007 05:08 am There is also a 1977 high and low last 7, 1996 near and far 6, so I don't know if all of these are required to complete a set. Report this Post to the Staff
Topher Pillar of the Community Canada 965 Posts	Posted 11/07/2007 09:42 am My Gardmaster album only has a spot for the 1964XWL and 1947(dot) and 1947ML. However, it doesn't have spots for all of the "P" mintmark nickels from 2000-present, so take that with a grain of salt. Report this Post to the Staff
