1952 Canadian Silver Dollar
The 1952 Canadian Silver Dollar is an interesting collectible. Many coins have histories that make them unique for one reason or another and the1952 Canadian Silver Dollar is no exception. In 1951, the Royal Canadian Mint experienced a manufacturing problem which caused the water lines at the edge of the canoe to rub off during the polishing process. These coins are referred to as the "Arnprior" coins. This resulted in coins that had faint water lines or no water lines at all.
After the manufacturing flaws, the Royal Canadian Mint, in 1952, released coins that did not have water lines at all since the problem could not be easiliy resolved.
