I can only ask if a varieties book or site is available for comparison?

 

Below, find two images from the CoinsandCanada site. My old Zoell books show large (close to the denticles and touching or nearly touching the left ribbon) mintmarks.

It seems my example may exhibit a smaller mintmark in addition to being set right?

Must of took 4-ever to check out that coin. Some coin book needs to get a picture of that coin

 

Here is a good start. I would imagine that there are plenty of better books.
