Yes, if you are willing and able. That is, if you have another holder or storage location available.

I'm no expert, but I thought the Amprior designation, some including a die break, pertained only to 1955 dollars. Or maybe the designation was expanded to other years after the fact?

From what I've discovered Arnprior also refers to 1950 and 1951 silver dollars with regards to the waterlines at the front of the canoe.

As far as being a bit blurry, this was my first time photographing and posting here so hopefully my skills will improve as time goes on.

I also think it is at least an AU-50 Arnprior because of what appears to be only 2 1/2 SWL instead of 4, which gets it an "Arnprior" designation instead of SWL. Hard to tell if it is wear or toning from the colour/photo though. I've seen 50's and 60's dollars with a pinkish-grey toning and looking at the "ADA" area on the reverse, I see the same in the cheek and jaw areas of the obverse which might appear as wear based on the pictures. Great coin though! If you aren't sentimental about your dad's labelling, I'd put it in a newer, even hard plastic capsule if you were to pop it out to take another picture. If "trends" mean anything to you, it values in the 150 to 250 range for AU-50 to MS-60

Thanks for all the info. I have ordered some new coin capsules and 2x2's as a few more of the existing ones need replacing.

I also have a 1950 Arnprior that looks like it would grade out the same. I can take some new pictures of both the 1951 and 1950 when I take them out to replace the containers if anyone is interested.

I now regret not paying attention to dad's collection when I was younger. Now that it's become mine I am finding it very interesting identifying and getting some information on the coins. Lots to go through!
