I'm trying to determine if the coin in the attached images has a sharp 7, or a blunt 7.
Your comments would be appreciated.

It looks like the tip has a die chip and I doubt you can identify either way.

This is an interesting coin, in that it is listed on "coinsandcanada.com" as having 33 varieties/errors. It was brought to my attention by numistisist "kbbpll", who does not collect Canadian coins, and therefore was not interested in adopting it.
It probably would have ended up in the melting pot, since it is 98% copper, if "kbbpll" would not have brought it to my attention.
So, I'm looking for someone to adopt it.

"pointed 7 or blunt 7", this is a challenging one!

Here are comparison images for potential adoptive "variety collecting" Canadian numismatist.

I would not place it in the melting pot! I would label it as a "potential" and file it away.
