mike31093 Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 10/19/2023 2:48 pm So I found this Canadian nickel in Dad's collection. Researching doesn't explain why it seems to command a higher selling price than a non-dot 7. What's the deal with this coin? Am I to assume the star after the 7 is the 'dot'?

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 10/19/2023 2:54 pm That's not a dot, it's a maple leaf, which indicates it was struck in 1948 because new modified obverse dies were not ready til late in the year. The dot coins have no maple leaf, instead they have a dot where the maple leaf appears.

mike31093 Valued Member United States 354 Posts	Posted 10/19/2023 3:04 pm Wow, I missed the whole boat on this one! But I see the dot in an image from the link you provided. Now I'm a little more educated. Thanks for the post. I'd modify the subject line if it was allowed. Edited by mike31093 10/19/2023 3:07 pm Report this Post to the Staff
