Anyone want to marvel at a nice 1948 Canadian dollar? My local coin shop received a very nice collection last night and I got the privledge of taking this bad boy home for some better pictures... All you guys get is my iPhone pictures right now...   If you have a dollar or half collection and you are missing some key dates, I guarantee my local guy has them... And in my opinion, they are all gorgeous!! |

Alright AgHoarder, keep the drool off my nice coins!! This isn't even the prettiest! There are all three varieties of the 1947s and one is even a proof... And I found a 55 with 1 1/2 lines and the die break... There were some gems in the bunch!

I believe it is a proof and not a specimen... They made proofs that year I think but I am going off a world coin catalog and I don't have a lot of Canadian reference materials...

only specimens were struck. you may just have a nice cameo example and not a specimen though.

Sorry to say there is just too many dings marks all over the neck and face plus some rim dings on the reverse, maybe a low ms

Even a low MS in a 1948 is a great coin...

No doubt, the rest of the coin is a beauty.

Cjweber, is that a double HP or just a reflection?

Ms 60 too many marks and LOTS of that yellow scum that is quite common on George VI halves and Dollars . It DOES not come off and NGC and PCGS will NO Grade these.

That's not yellow scum... That's a reflection from the ceiling light in my dining room... This dollar is ALL mint luster! But it is scratched

MS62
Lots of marks but well struck.
A rather pedestrian money coin.
Bring on the '47's
They sound interesting
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I agree with DBM, MS62 all day. Look's to be a clean coin and should grade no problem both NGC and PCGS.
