Some of you might know what this is. It took some hunting to find one in this condition for this price. I'm happy. sellers pics.
Is that a small crack between the "4" and "6"? It looks like it might extend into the loop of the "6". Is it possible that the "design" inside the "6" is actually a die break? Chris
Yeah, it's a die break. They call this the Hoof in Six. http://www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?coin=50-cents-1946&years=50-cents-1937-1952
Here is some information. Scroll down to 1946 http://www.calgarycoin.com/modern/cd50cent.htm @cpm9ball
My 2016 Charlton catalog values this 1946 coin at $80.00 Canadian = $61.17 United States dollars. Is that what you paid ?
They called that a VF-20? Wow. Canadian standards must be quite a bit tougher than US - I'd have guessed EF-40 on that.
just about. plus shipping from Canada. As far as grading these things, I need to practice first before embarrassing myself with a grade.
