I don't know if these photos will be large enough to be able to see them close enough. I'm not sure if the ML cent is the pointy or the blunt 7 variety but the '47 is definately blunt. Unfortunately I scanned these photos before I learned how to play with the sizes and lighting and didn't get a chance to rescan lighter/brighter and bigger as I intended before my computer went south on me. Currently my scanner (and lots of other things on my computer) is/are non functional. I don't know when I'll have my systems back ok and everything working again. Meanwhile, I'll post some of the pics I have for now. I'd like some feedback if possible as to whether anyone can tell if my ML cent is pointy or blunt  1947 ML (ML equals "Maple Leaf")  1947ML not sure if blunt or pointy 7?  1947 definately blunt next to 1947 ML not sure.  |

PS: the 1947 "7" is obviously bluntly chopped edge but the ML "7" is more rounded. I'm thinking its likely the pointy variety, but maybe not?
... and by the way, the ML, I don't think thats corrosion happening around some of the devices like the D in Canada. I think its just dirt bunged up. Not sure how to clean it out and don't want to scratch or damage my coins so have just left them as is for now.

Thanks John1. I apologize for the not great pics. It's really frustrating to have my scanner down.
I had a looksee and my 47 is definately that blunted chopped angled direction and my ML is a lot closer to the pointy one, so am pretty sure it's pointy ML. Too bad, but still a charge to have one of each of a 63 and a 62 year old '47 penny. The '47ML is a bit precious so I'll be hanging onto to pair as they're the only ones I have so far. Have been hanging onto them for some time now. That and my nice 1941. Love those 40's pennies :)

Thanks guys. It does look blunt by the photos at those sizes but I think a
closer up photo is needed.

I hope this works to see better. I was able to use Paint to crop, zoom in on the date, and save the image.  |

There is also on the 1947 ML..A High Maple Leaf & A Low maple Leaf... Your coin is the Low Maple Leaf one.. The red line barely touching the bottom of the maple leaf shows the Low one and the position of the yellow line would be on the bottom of the maple leaf if it were the High one..  |

Wow. Thank you very much D  I made note of the Low ML for it. Also thanks for blowing the photo up and showing the diagram. You photo shows the 7 tip to be pretty rounded, like I was trying to explain. You can clearly see the roundedness in the one you posted. All that being said, are we all decided my ML is a pointy variety then? Right now I have it labeled "pointy ?" Is it time for me to remove those question marks and make a final pointed decision? (pun intended) |

I still think it's a blunt 7.

For the record folks, after this thread I have noted on my 47ML envelope Blunt Low ML :)
Thanks a lot for your opinions and helping me with this. I'm a happy camper with the results.
