KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/04/2008 01:48 am Hi, There are a few key die varieties for Canadian cents 53 and onward. Many are worth looking for, but every variety has its own diagnostics. If you do a search in the Canada section for 1953-55, 1965, and 1985 you'll find more information on each variety.

Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 05/05/2008 8:39 pm What are you suppose to look for in the 1953-55? I find it really strange that I found a 1965 pointed. Probably some idiot not knowing what he spent. What is the value of a 65 pointer. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/05/2008 9:01 pm Well...this is why I suggested going through the Canadian forum, because it's very detailed to describe these differences properly, and I've lost count of my efforts at it! Some diagnostics for the 1965 pointed 5 (and large beads) Here's a post that discusses the diagnostics for "no shoulder fold" cents of 1953-55. The rare one you want to look out for is the "no shoulder fold" of 1955. Edited by KurtS 05/05/2008 9:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Double Mint Pillar of the Community United States 810 Posts	Posted 05/06/2008 04:49 am I was checking out my 1965 and 1954 and sure enough they are both the rarer ones. I was thinking I aint this lucky because I only had one 1954 and 1 1965. Ive been researching on the coins to be sure and they deffinitely are. The 1954 is a NSF and the 1965 is a pointed 5. As soon as I get the camera working to where I can download pics ill be sure to put the pics of them in here. Report this Post to the Staff
KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 05/06/2008 12:23 pm "The 1954 is a NSF and the 1965 is a pointed 5." Remember, that diagnostic for '65? Check the obverse for "large beads" too. When you post pics, I can give you my opinion on these too. Report this Post to the Staff
livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 05/06/2008 1:13 pm Kurt, I don't know if you meant this also, but in the back of the book there is a section under "Varieties", that goes into more detail about the different errors, and varieties. It covers ecerything from MD, (which incidently, in Canada, does have a small premium), to just about everything that can happen in the mint. Dick Report this Post to the Staff
