1947 1-Cent Blunt 7 vs. Pointed 7
One of the most talked-about Canadian varieties, the 1947 cent features two distinct “7” styles in the date—blunt and pointed. The pointed version is more elongated, with a sharper, more tapered tip, while the blunt 7 appears shorter and thicker. That small difference in shape has become a key diagnostic for collectors—and can significantly impact desirability.
