Kurt, can you give me, or guide me to the diagnostice for the '77 cent? I checked Charltons 62nd Ed., and it only lists the date, withono further data. I have a roll, plus, and would like the 5? varieties, if you can provide. Thanks, Topher, I ight ask the same of you, if you have the info. My sources are ZILCH!Thanks to all.
Dick

After having gone thru allthat I have, (1 roll), I find no denticles. Instead large beads, that readily fill in next to the rim, (which is very close), thus giving the inoression of a denticle; All mine are the "low, (symitrical date). If there is another type, such as was posted, then it, ( the HIGH 7) has to be the scarce one. IMHO.
BTW, I found a 1953 SF in a box of US xents, from the East coast area. It was in a roll of "P" cnts I got several months ago, and just got around to sorting them out, by date/mint. I will check them later, for varieties, and errors?

Hi Dick, Did you see on the 1st page, where I posted the diagnostic from Charest on the low 7? From what I know speaking with Canadians, we always thought the L7 was scarcer.  My Charlton's put a premium on the L7--if that's accurate, lol. I've never looked for "high 7" beads or denticle differences. |

Hi, again, Kurt! I saw the first page, and have been gollowing the thread. that is where I got "involved", and started digging. as I said, there are no denticles, only large beads, very close to the rim. they tend to plug verv fast, giving the impression of being denticles. I find only the series of dates in the series. maybe the info you gave is in another part. I tried to locate such info, but had to give up. I don't see that well anymore. Maybe I didn';t look in the right place. Can you be more specific? thanks,
Dick

Dick, I was just thinking of this diagnostic pic. (below)  The other pic I posted was for the 1965 large bead and small bead varieties.  I think many collectors are following the Canada die varieties in more detail than I am presently. |

Kurt, here are three shots: The last, should be close-up of beads, the others normal show beads, and date.    Dick |

Hey Dick--now see what you mean with possible strike wear on the die. Now I understand our point of confusion--my discussion/pics are for the 1977 5 cent piece, and not the 1c.  |

Kurt, the denticles, etc, "5 varieties" I believe came from Topher. and another member, as I recall; "topher" sais::Don't forget that the "high 77" can be found with both beads and denticles on the reverse, for a total of 5 varieties. I don't recall who the other member was that asked about the denticles. Hope this clears the water, a bit.

Dick, Nice shot of your PL '77.  To my eyes, the top line of the second 7 is slightly higher, so I'd call that a high 7. That diagnostic pic above isn't very large, but the second 7 on the L7 is actually a slightly different numeral style--another diagnostic. |

the reason I ask is because I went through 200 dollars worth of .999 nickels and found 292 1977's and I started looking through the rolls for variety's and found I had almost and even amount of low and high 7s and even 7s! So I just rolled up the ones I searched through and didn't even search the other rolls b/c I figure if the low 7 is rarer then I have already come out on top with the ones I have already searched without even looking at anymore. once I get a little more info I will probably go back and separate them
