    Are you asking if this is an Arnprior Dollar? I think you'll need closeups of the right side of the canoe.

    ...not that I'm any kind of expert or anything...

    Apparantly "Arnprior" applies most correctly to 1955 Dollars, when 2000 dollars were minted for a firm in Arnprior, Ontario. These dollars are known to have 2 1/2 water lines, instead of the normal 4, due to excessive polishing of the dies. Today, the term Arnprior also applies to the 1950 and 1951 dollars, where 2 1/2 lines are seen instead of 4.

    The 1952 dollar doesn't exhibit the Arnprior pattern, but instead there was another variety minted which had a modified island to the right of the canoe, along with NO waterlines. This variety was deliberately created, not accidently like the Arnpriors. The no lines variety is worth slightly more than the regular reverse.

    To my untrained eye, it looks like you have the no water lines variety, which is listed as being worth $20 CND in MS-60, $45 in MS-63, $125 in MS-64, and $300 in MS-65 (2002 edition of Charlton).
