Having said that I am having trouble determining if this is the round or pointed variety. The photo in the book wasn't the most clear. If it helps this is from a proof-like/uncirculated set.

Altaira Pillar of the Community Canada 2519 Posts	Posted 09/29/2017 2:23 pm That's the rounded bust. It's identical to the 1982 bust varieties. Another way to look at it is at the relief: rounded bust has high relief,pointed bust is low relief. Report this Post to the Staff

mcshilling Pillar of the Community Canada 9164 Posts	Posted 09/29/2017 3:45 pm I'm looking in my 2013 Charlton and it shows only one type for 1979, have they made changes since that issue? Report this Post to the Staff
TheForce Pillar of the Community United States 4870 Posts	Posted 09/29/2017 4:22 pm Thanks for all the info! My 2015 Charlton doesn't show it either but the new 2018 edition I got today does. It's also not in the 2016 Haxby. Further the new Charlton shows the 1974 missing S and the 1958 dot. Report this Post to the Staff
