Collector Note: 1947 Canadian silver dollars are historically important due to the transition from “IND:IMP:” (Emperor of India) to post-colonial coinage In 1947, dies were used into 1948 with additional overdate varieties (e.g. 1947 Maple Leaf and 1947/8 overdate), making this an especially collectible time period A Blunt 7 in MS63 is a solid mid-range uncirculated piece and represents excellent eye appeal and preservation for the type
