wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 4:17 pm Hi guys Look at this pics, both are essentially the same design, but the 1951 half has one extra line...Is this anything to worry about...? Report this Post to the Staff

staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 5:54 pm Hi wert. You will find those inconsistencies even in the same mint year. In many cases the narrow or wide date, high four or low four, etcetera will affect some of the design details. Report this Post to the Staff
wert Rest in Peace 1988 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 6:00 pm staircase....Thanks for bursting my bubble (ha,ha)....Guess I won't get excited about 50 cent pieces in the future. Report this Post to the Staff
pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 6:22 pm Die polishing and Die refurbishment quite often removes the design details that you highlighted. As staircase pointed out, that could happen in any given year. Report this Post to the Staff
staircase Valued Member Canada 241 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 6:31 pm Wert, on the contrary, always check those details, as many years have some oddities that are not common from one year to another. In particular is the large number of varieties associated with the date itself. For example, one of those years is 1945. Never give up!

pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 12/13/2011 6:42 pm The 1945 Fifty Cent coins are quite interesting. In addition to quite a few date spacing varieties, there are at least ten 5/5 repunches that I am aware of. You shouldn't have any trouble finding some of them. Report this Post to the Staff
