1953 Canadian coinage: shoulder fold versus not......

Doogy

In looking at the '53 coinage, it seems like there are two varieties, the shoulder fold versus no shoulder fold. Are these die varieties, and which one is more collectable generally speaking? Also, I noticed a 'small date' and 'no shoulder fold' together one slab. Are the two of these generally seen together?


thanks!

Die varieties - no, actually two different hubs. If I recall the story correctly, there was much ado about the "naked" Queen for the NSF variety.

Which is more collectable? Let's see:
Denomination, MS65 $
1c, 1953, NSF $85
1c, 1953, SF $525
1c, 1954, SF $300
1c, 1954, NSF $2000
1c, 1955, NSF $5500 (in 64 red)
1c, 1955, SF $85

5c, 1953, NSF far leaf $150
5c, 1953, NSF near leaf $2500 (in 62)
5c, 1953, SF near leaf $150
5c, 1953, SF far leaf $1650 (in 62)
5c, 1954, SF $165
5c, 1954, NSF rare

10c, 1953 NSF $100
10c, 1953 SF $165

25c, 1953 NSF $160
25c, 1953 SF $350

50c, 1953 SD NSF $250
50c, 1953 LD SF $375
50c, 1953 LD NSF $750

$1, 1953 SF $950
$1, 1953 NSF $1250

Kinda obvious, I'd say.

Now the two dollar coin has the Queen on front with a "bear" behind.

I have two 1953 Canadian dimes. One shows clear doubling of the date, especially the 5. The other coin shows no doubling of the date. Is the double date worth any extra? The coin looks XF-AU and probably cleaned. Thanks for any help.

Double dates or partial double dates aren't worth any premium.
