1947 five cent piece

Post by tee2 » Wed Mar 23, 2022 4:23 pm

Hello, I have a couple of 5 cent coins, and it looks like it has a dot on it? I cannot seem to attach photos to this site, is there somewhere I can sent a copy to , to find out if worth anything? Thank you..

If it looks like a star, it is probably the 1947 maple leaf, not a dot.
The dot variety looks like a small pinhead.
There were nearly 10 million of these minted which is more than the
regular 1947 so they are pretty easy to come by.
