BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 05/17/2016 7:05 pm I am unfamiliar with this variety, and after doing all the reading here and on coinsandcanada.com I am still unsure if I have the near or far leaf variety. What do you say? Report this Post to the Staff

JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21614 Posts	Posted 05/18/2016 09:02 am On the reverse, there are two areas you can look at. The Near Maple Leaf has the tip of the leaf closer to the denticles then the far Maple Leaf. Also the tip of the 9 is almost touching the denticles whereas the Far Leaf there is more space. There are also two different Obverses giving a total of 4 different varieties for the 53 Nickel. Report this Post to the Staff

Hello Biedercoins I put this link with photos and explanation for the 4 kinds of coin for the 5 ¢ 1953. It's in French but a translator can help you and the pictures show everything. http://www.numicanada.com/forum/vie...f=23&t=22261 Report this Post to the Staff
