Description

George VI 50 Cents 1946, KM36, MS65 PCGS. Narrow Date, per Charlton (2009). The 1946 50 Cents is not rare in the absolute sense but becomes scarce above Select Mint State. This outstanding Gem boasts eye-catching prooflike fields and moderate cameo contrast. Attractive purple and golden patina coats the perimeter, with untoned, frosted centers. The left side of the crown and shield top are weakly struck, but the impression is sharp otherwise. A few light abrasions on the King's cheek do not distract. PCGS has certified only five MS65 examples, with none finer (7/09).
