I believe in this era,due to low mintage requirements,the last number was punched into each individual die,thus a new matrix and punches were not needed for every year.You have shown how to identify a couple of the dies,intersesting,perhaps useful,but not significant IMO.

OK DBM,
if it is not important with a relative low issue Silver dollar,
WHY is it important and recognized with other coins. for example the 1858 SD-LD 5 cent piece with a much higher mintage?
And I am sure there are others....
Or, a much simpler example: double HP or single HP ?
Always keep in mind, the combined 1947 mintage is ONLY 65,595 !
Note: 1947 ML is actually a 1948 dollar.
Now, IMO, such a difference in dates should actually make one ore two of them pretty RRRRRRRRRRare? Not so?
There is NO doubt, there are very decisive differences.

my notes for this coin indicate there are 3 varieties of the blunt 7 and 7 varieties of pointed 7. Looks like you've reinvented the wheel.

Well Malibu,
perhaps I made them all in my basement...?
or maybe, just perhaps your notes need updating?

seriously, I believe your notes are based on the available info out of publications.
If you have some of these coins, check them....it might surprise you.. I checked mine because someone mentioned that there is a low 47.... well, there really is. Plus other variations...
perhaps everyone should check their blunt 47s....
might be an interesting survey?/

Dear Sir. The images are not in proportion and size?

I can see all sorts of variations in the "1" and the "9".

In my opinion this is what I see. "Wow" you sure have allot of 1947 dollars im..pressive (Hhb), as you so eloquently noted to us, to compare to ours... and other comments / tone. This is supposed to be a happy place to compare notes and opinions, IMHO.
with the opinions of (adanak44) about the images you send us and add, that I see at least one, was shown twice. Taking pictures of coins is also hard to do, especially when you want to compare to others your collection. 1cm makes all the difference with ware, light, focus, also your position and attitude...

I also agree with (DBM) on all counts. What I see is difference's in die's not a new variety, they use many die's at a time and they can be a bit different, in short as he said. Surely that being the case, one could say that there would be equal amounts of each, so you will have to acquire more of them to prove it to yourself. What I see, being Blunt 7's as the variety, made by different die's.
You asked.

commoncents, perhaps common sense would help.

if you care to look at some of the distances from one number to another. and some of the physical locations compared to others, and some of the sizes of the numbers, perhaps then you would consider another answer.
regardless of the lighting , distance of the lens, type of lens , camera settings etc.
distance , sizes etc. etc. is always in the same relation.
perhaps you would want to evaluate the 9s, pointed and blunt, not the 7s, perhaps the rest of the 9s also.. just for starters.
But it sure appears that everyone just looks at it superficially...and seeks to criticize first before doing it better or before they have something constructive to say.
Sorry, NOT everyone, just some.
Perhaps there is a reason WHY the one coin is there 2x?
ever thought about the obvious?
all these Images were taken as follows
exactly same distance, same camera, same lens, same lighting source, same settings.
But, since most experts have chosen to contribute somewhere else, there is not much sense of pursuing this any further.

Dear Sir, Don't get upset! We(some) just say what we see.They are very nice images.However when you crop the images
the X.Y.(position) W.H. numbers should be the same for all the images.Can not trust our eyes to trim the image.
I hope this help and thank you for your sharing.

Adanak,

I just do not appreciate if someone just: says nothing constructive, i. e. crtizizes without even knowing what they are talking about, except repeating what they read or saw somewhere. , or any suggestion.
I assume you guys are all "blind". otherwise you would see the differences.

It is great to critizize and be negative and try to find something.
BUT how about contribute something better... or if someone makes a mistake , pointed out and correct it without getting snippie.
make some effort...

enough said.... NO MORE.

hhb kiddo, Sounds like great advice, adanak44 's advice sounded sound and very polite, to me! We just want to held and should not have our heads bite off for it. And the yelling when we don't say what you want.
I love coins
