1966 Canadian 1 dollar silver. Is it the one I think it is?

I am totally new to silver coins and had read about a small bead coin lining up with the I in Regina.... Is this the one? I paid 15 dollars at a pawn shop.

We'd need to see a good close-up of the reverse to determine large or small beads. If it's a small bead variety, you really scored as they only made 485 of them! If it's a large bead, you still did ok as it's 80% silver.

Bigcanuk,
Welcome to Treasure Net !!

The small bead would fetch about $2,400 (retail value) in XF-40, whereas the large bead would bring only BV since nearly 10M were minted.
As 'cudamark' (Go Chargers !!) mentioned, we need to see a sharply focused close up of the reverse to give you an opinion.
Don.........

I will see what I can do...

I believe that both coins are of the "Large Bead" Variety! Sorry!
