JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21635 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 1:26 pm It is a variety called "without rays" found with the SWL that was caused by polishing. Referred to as Variety Rev. 11 by Charlton. The seller is fellow member Pacificoin so you can rest assured that it is a legitimate variety.

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21635 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 9:04 pm Nice example SilverDon. I think the 1950 has more varieties then any other of the silver dollars. Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 10:36 pm Great example silverson have you checked for any repunching in the date? Yes, the 1950-1952(especially 1950) seemes to be a great date range for KG VI dollar varieties but what about 1947?, 1947 is a great date for varieties many of which I believe are yet to be discovered/recognized. I myself have an example with a nice re punched 7 that I can't find listed. Feel free to call me Will. Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 05/02/2015 03:33 am You and I have the same repunched 4 and 7 (tripled), 1947, with reverse die crack dollar, dollarman, you helped me identify that variety when I bought my 1947. Will have to check that 1950 for a repunch on the date. Thanks for that info. Edited by SilverDon 05/02/2015 07:43 am Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5402 Posts	Posted 05/02/2015 03:40 am Thanks for the endorsement Jimmy D. I also agree the 1950 along with the 1951 and 1952 George VI dollars are the most interesting of the entire dollar series. The 1950 has been a special study for me since the early 1980 s when I discovered a bunch of the so called CH007 logs on island variety in an original 100 dollar lot. The aforementioned missing Northern Lights exists with both short and regular water lines . Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDon Pillar of the Community Canada 2360 Posts	Posted 05/02/2015 07:39 am Looked for repunching in the date in the 1950, none. Edited by SilverDon 05/02/2015 07:43 am Report this Post to the Staff
wildflowerAB Pillar of the Community Canada 2845 Posts	Posted 05/08/2015 11:29 pm Awhile back someone mentioned on one of the threads that the 2012 Charlton Standard listed a whole lot of Silver Dollar varieties. I was able to get a reasonable priced used copy from Amazon -- it can from a library in Chicago -- and wowzer, what an eye opener to many, many varieties (including the one above). I just thought I'd mention this again......it really opens an interesting door well beyond the limited varieties that are most commonly known. Report this Post to the Staff
