<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 25863653, member: 104064"]Nothing to drool over but here are some semi-keys. Barber added an extra fold to the right ribbon end in 1901 so the second 1901-S below is tougher to find than the first. For 1902-S the majority of coins are the "correct" thick ribbon reverse, but then for 1903-S oddly they flipped back to coining a large majority of the old thin ribbon reverse, and the "correct" reverse is scarce. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1648389[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1648390[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1648391[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1648392[/ATTACH] </p><p>For world coins, the key Canadian dollar is the 1948. What's difficult to understand is that the 1947 Maple Leaf has the second smallest mintage but doesn't get the same attention or value. It was also minted in 1948 but for some reason Canadian collectors treat it as a variety of 1947.
