Top photo is too large and out of focus.
Going by the second photo, that is a Large Bead.

Then send it off to be certified. If it is a SB, it could be worth thousands and well
worth the cost of grading but I think you will be disappointed in the results.

Best of luck to you.
Those pics are to out of focus to determine for sure, but I suspect it's large beads because small beads are exactly as described, they're small. You can easily fit another bead between two small beads.
Doesn't appear to be so in those pics.

I’d say it’s large. Here’s a great site for dollar varieties.

Yes I would go with what Techmoe is saying check out your coin with what is on the Saskatoon coin club site. That’s a excellent reference for Canadian silver dollars. You have to be able to place a extra bead in between the bead that are there and that doesn’t look possible from the picture you have submitted. But as TBH indicates “good luck”
