glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 1:32 pm Currently an E-bay seller/dealer has a nice I.C.C.S. 1946 half dollar listed on E-bay. The I.C.C.S. Certificate does not state anything, however, the scan in the auction of the reverse appears to be the design in 6 variety. The E-bay auction # is: 200681797761, can someone else take a peak at this coin for a second opinion before I make the purchase? Glenn Report this Post to the Staff

pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 5:04 pm There is definitely a die-chip in the 6, but this does not look like the hoof through 6 variety as that would require a double die-chip plus a die crack. There are at least four different 'die-chip in the six' that look similar.... three of which were listed by Zoell. Edited by pginrh 11/28/2011 6:25 pm Report this Post to the Staff
papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 11/28/2011 7:04 pm I think for ICCS to lable the coin it has to be identicle to the one in the Charlton Coin Book. This is mine but no mention on the certificate Report this Post to the Staff

pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 07:20 am Papeldog.... This is an intermediate step before the full blown design in 6 which has a second die-chip in the 6.

papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 11/29/2011 09:10 am Thank you for the link to the above web site (Calgary Coin) pginrh, I was trying to find out a little more about the coin I have and this answered all my questions on this piece. I kind of thought that it was a build up to the major error but I didn't know where it fit in. Report this Post to the Staff
