Description
George VI 50 Cents 1947 Curled Left Maple Leaf, KM36, MS66 PCGS, Charlton (2009) calls this the Straight 7 variety. The bottom of the 7 in the date is curved slightly to the left. A small maple leaf was added to the right of the date to indicate that these pieces were struck using outdated dies, which still had ET IND: IMP: (and Emperor of India) in the legend. Only 38,433 examples of both Maple Leaf varieties were struck, compared to 424,885 pieces for the regular 1947 halves.Mottled gold, light blue, and lavender toning drapes both sides of this prooflike Premium Gem. The surfaces appear remarkably pristine to the unaided eye, and a loupe locates only a couple of wispy luster grazes. A sharply struck and attractive piece, the single finest certified by PCGS (7/09).
