Message:: [QUOTE="ertw, post: 113223, member: 4954"]Here is an ended ebay auction.  The seller included a scan of the page in the Charlton's Catalogue that illustrates the difference.  Hope it helps you distinguish the difference.  Hope you have that far leaf- 'shoulder fold' or 'strap' variety <a href="http://cgi.ebay.ca/1953-CANADA-NICKEL-SF-FAR-MAPLE-LEAF-MULE-PCGS-AU58_W0QQitemZ8379046801QQcategoryZ3387QQcmdZViewItem" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.ca/1953-CANADA-NICKEL-SF-FAR-MAPLE-LEAF-MULE-PCGS-AU58_W0QQitemZ8379046801QQcategoryZ3387QQcmdZViewItem" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.ca/1953-CANADA-NICKEL-SF-FAR-MAPLE-LEAF-MULE-PCGS-AU58_W0QQitemZ8379046801QQcategoryZ3387QQcmdZViewItem</a> ...just to add for anyone interested: easiest way to tell between the shoulder fold (SF) and no shoulder fold (NSF) varieties is the "I" in "DEI" in obverse.  Flared out "I" is the NSF.  Picture of this also included in that scan in the auction.[/QUOTE]
