<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 7496713, member: 104064"]There are concave and convex varieties of the 1948 Canada 50 cent specimen coins, and my profile image is 1947 ML SP, which I'm certain is concave (obverse side). I've wondered how they did that, since to have two separate sets of 1948 dies for such a low mintage seems odd. Perhaps they were experimenting as well. The reverse is often weakly struck (on the circulation coins) because there just wasn't enough metal to fill the design.</p><p><br /></p><p>Very informative thread.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
