<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Clawcoins, post: 3913319, member: 77814&quot;]But what you are referencing is kinda, somewhat true.</p><p>Canada was waiting for new dies to mark the new legend verbage of India gaining their Independence.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1948 dies were modified to remove the &quot;ET IND:IMP&quot; which you see on the obverse of your cent.&nbsp; Unfortunately the cent shortage was due to a delay of these dies as they were being provided by the Royal Mint in London England.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thus due to the shortage and waiting for the new dies they minted more cents but added a small maple leaf to the reverse (in addition to the BIG on) on the 1947 dies to identify them as 1948ish.&nbsp; The &quot;Maple Leaf&quot; you are referring to is a very small maple leaf to the right of the date, such as in this comparison (it looks more like a star to me).</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031426[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>But looking at your fuzzy images I would guess yours has the small star .. I mean maple leaf to the right of the date.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031428[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>and if you notice, your coin has the &quot;ET IND:IMP&quot; to the right of the bust.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1031427[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
