In any case, both the NSF and SF versions for this year are relatively common in this grade. The premium is on SF versions in MS grades. The value is in the memories Report this Post to the Staff

The No Shoulder Fold 1 cent design was slightly changed to lower the height of the engraving. The newer design had Shoulder Straps on the dress. The p[ortrait design was by (English) designer Mary Gillick, used 1953-1964 in Canada. The dime design was by Arnold Machin (English) and was used in Canada from 1965-1989. The maple leaf design was first used in 1937, and still is used. It shopws an impossible leaf, so I have been told. Maple leafs are always on a single stem. It is by (English) G.E. Kruger-Grey. The boat is the Bluenose, finally acknowledged as such by the RCMint a few years ago. This schooner saled from Canada to the West Indies, and was involved in a series of races, which it won. The design also was used from 1937. It is by Emanuel Hahn (English). Report this Post to the Staff
Philippesdad New Member Canada 10 Posts	Posted 03/30/2009 12:07 am Hello coinsnpaper; I was always told (back as far as the 1960's) that it was the Bluenose on the 10 cent piece. She was a working fishing schooner and during the 20's and 30's, won races for 18 years running against many competitors for the Fishermans Trophy which was established after the America's Cup was cancelled because a 23 knot wind was too strong for the sissy yachts. I too have been told that the leaf is not natural, but if you look at a maple twig, it can have 2 or more leaves at or near the tip of the branch, and I think that's what is represented on the 1 cent. Just my 2 cents worth. Report this Post to the Staff
