Stunet Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 06/12/2010 1:20 pm Wonder why I have custom holder that says "Type V". Couldn't get a good picture through the holder but the water lines don't go all the way to the dots like they do on my other Voyagers (Don't have any other '77s). Guess this "Type V" is a "Type 3". If someone has an older coin book could they look to see if there once was a "Type V" designation? Report this Post to the Staff

livingdinasaur Pillar of the Community United States 1571 Posts	Posted 06/14/2010 02:54 am Type 1:Short lines, attached jewel and rounded edge Type 2: Long lines, detached jewel,and square edfe. Type 3: Short lines, detached jewel, andsquare edge. MS-63; %5.00 across the board. BTW, MS-65 gives top money for the grade. This info from the 2010 7th ed. P. Charest. Hope this helps. Mine is a type 2 Dick Report this Post to the Staff
canadian_coins Pillar of the Community United States 2408 Posts	Posted 06/14/2010 10:23 am Charest does not mention the flat Island varieties. Flat island can be paired with Full Water lines or Short Water Lines as you mentioned. Charlton 60th Ed. describes the following 6 Obv/rev combinations: Obv-001/Rev-001 Attached jewel, Full water lines (Normal, MS, SP) Obv-001/Rev-002 Attached jewel, Short water lines (MS, SP) Obv-002/Rev-001 Detached jewel, Full water lines (MS, SP) Obv-002/Rev-002 Detached jewel, Short water lines (MS, SP) Obv-001/Rev-003 Attached jewel, Flat island, Full water lines (MS Only) Obv-001/Rev-004 Attached jewel, Flat island, Short water lines (MS Only) I assume no Rev-003/Rev-004 have been documented with Obv-002 yet. Based on this grouping, yours would be a flat island. Can you produce a better scan of the water line area? Report this Post to the Staff
Stunet Valued Member United States 211 Posts	Posted 12/30/2016 02:32 am Its been a few years. I finally broke the "Type V" out of its fancy holder to get good pictures for you guys. Still have no clue what "Type V" means. Not sure if there is anything remarkable about this dollar. Any thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff
