Canada 1951 Nickel

[AU24K]

Can anyone help me to determine the difference between the 1951 Canadian Nickel "High Relief" vis a vis "Low Relief?"
There's quite a difference in value...
Thanks

These two designs are easily told apart by the positional of the obverse lettering relative to the denticles around the edge. On high relief examples the second A in GRATIA points directly at one of the denticles (although slightly to the left side of the denticle). On the common low relief that same A point directly between two of the denticles.

Thanks Don.
Of course, after checking mine, it is the common variety...

They always are! I think rare Canadian coins is just a hoax.

There's better luck in finding rare Canadian Whiskey....
