1955 Canada cent strap/strapless?...ANSWERED with Pics

Man

I have a 1955 Canadian cent I plucked from my change and never could find out if it was a strap or strapless variety.
I took a scan of the shoulder.

Here's a Bigger Picture
This is the highest resolution scan I can take.
Are there any Canadian variety experts or sites I can go to?

Thanks in advance.


Edited to add image below. The coin isn't the best but I'm trying to learn what "strap" means.

The scan is too big for me to determine if it is NSF or SF.
Could you please post a picture of the whole coin?

CCRS is a very useful website about Canadian coins.

Looks to me that the 2 horizontal lines near the center of the pic are indication of the strap.

Thanks Numismatics for the link I searched and found others with my question they suggested looking at the denticles and the lettering...


Note the flared letters; and the "I" in "DEI" points between two denticiles; whereas the shoulder fold obverse it points at a denticle.

I know believe that this is the strap variety making it worth maybe twice face value.

Thanks for the help and quick response.

I added a full picture to my original post.
