Description
George VI 50 Cents 1948, KM45, MS65 PCGS. The 1948 50 Cents had a diminutive mintage of just 37,784 pieces, the lowest since 1932--probably because the requirement to remove ET IND IMP from the obverse delayed the production of new dies well into 1948 and forced the production of the 1947-dated Maple Leaf varieties. Pleasing violet and golden-brown patina encircles the silver-gray centers of the present piece. Captivating semi-prooflike reflectivity in the fields complements the boldly struck design elements. Several tiny abrasions are nearly imperceptible without magnification. PCGS has certified only two examples finer (7/09).From the Canadiana Collection
