Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 11:23 am I cannot figure out what constitutes a 1909 cross tie. These are clearly round leaves. Is this a cross tie? What is the definition of a cross tie? Report this Post to the Staff

Sammeli Valued Member Canada 342 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 11:57 am Looks like a cross bow tie. Check the top of the imperial crown to see if there is a cross over a bow tie Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21628 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 12:10 pm An easy way to tell is look at the leaves. A Bowtie has the Rounded Leaves variety. A Cross/Bowtie has the Pointed Leaves variety. Edit- Correct typo Edited by JimmyD 08/11/2018 12:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 12:42 pm So, if the crown has a cross on its top, it is a cross tie? Coins and Canada says the variety is: 1909 - Round Leaves - Cross/Bow Tie Likewise, reviewing the certified cross ties auctions listed on the Coins and Canada site show round leaves Edited by Arkie 08/11/2018 1:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21628 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 1:52 pm My error. Looking at an older reference book for some reason. Yes, the Rounded Leave has both versions. The Pointed Leave only has the Cross/Bowtie. Report this Post to the Staff
Sammeli Valued Member Canada 342 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 4:51 pm So safe to say it's the maple leaf cross bow tie Report this Post to the Staff
Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 6:23 pm Should I slab it? Report this Post to the Staff
DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 6:54 pm Looks like Round Leaves, Cross over Bow Tie. We'll worth slabbing. Can you show us the obverse please. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 08/11/2018 6:54 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2637 Posts	Posted 08/11/2018 8:13 pm Should I use a Canadian firm? Would NGC or PCGS recognize the cross over bow tie? Report this Post to the Staff
