Here is a 1917 50 Cent Piece w/King George V and an 1882 Cent featuring Queen Victoria. The neat thing is check out the die clash on the queen. Looks like somebody went UPSIDE her head with a big E. This seems pretty unusual for canadian coinage. Bone
Alas, I't's been pointed out that my mind was in the seat of my pants on this one. It cannot be a die-clash as the cheek/neck is the LAST place the clash would show up. Must be all that White Lightein' I drank that came in the Brown Paper Bag, LOL. :whistle: :whistle: Take Care B
Bone,from what I see,that 1c. has been struck so hard that the reverse details can be seen on the obverse,which is why the ghosting appears. Aidan.
That's a very nice silver 50c. there.The King George V issues are becoming very difficult to find.I was lucky in getting an example of the 1929,which is one of the hardest key dates to find. Aidan.
Actually that E is exactly opposite where it would be on the reverse; suggests to me it's a genuine die clash, or at least that it could be. Can see the date bleeding through too.
Troodon,it isn't a die clash.It is a very interesting strike through variety though.If someone offered me a British Commonwealth strike through coin like that one,I'd gladly buy it. Aidan.
I have an 1888 one cent like that, so I studied the reverse against your picture. The 'v' shape on her neck is definitely the 'N' coming through. I also have that George, though mine is more worn looking
Twiggs,which of the King George V Canadian 50c. coins do you have? I know that you won't have the 1921,as that is THE rarest of all the Canadian silver 50c. coins. Aidan.
