nickelsguy Pillar of the Community Canada 2301 Posts	Posted 07/02/2012 12:57 pm Please do not be fooled by dealers and on line sellers alike attempting to capitalize on a naming ambiguity. The desirable 1946 variety is the HOOF in 6!! Not one of the numerous die chips in 6! There are at least 4 different die chips in the 6, and they are not hard to find. The image provided is of a late stage Hoof in 6! Hope this helps. Report this Post to the Staff

dialog_gvf Pillar of the Community Canada 1581 Posts	Posted 07/02/2012 2:17 pm On a similar theme. Is a 1950 a No Design if there is a die break through the 0? Report this Post to the Staff

pginrh Valued Member Canada 456 Posts	Posted 07/03/2012 12:18 pm Nice picture of the valuable (as opposed to several lesser 'design in 6's)1946 full Die Chip variety as listed in Trends and Charlton. There are at least 3 varieties of the 1950 No-design Fifty Cents.... 1. The first least is the least common, but it has three little blips to the right of the '0' under the hoof.... 2. The second is somewhat more common, having one blip below the hoof and NO Die mark which extends from the three lion segment of the shield down to just above the harp segment in the shield. 3. The third is very like the second and is the most common, it has one blip below the hoof and HAS a Die mark which extends from the three lion segment of the shield down to just above the harp segment in the shield. This is the one that in later Die states has a die crack through the '0' and die cracks continued to develop all around the Reverse as the die deteriorated more. It is still considered a No Design even with the Die Crack through the '0'. Edited by pginrh 07/03/2012 12:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff

pennysaver Pillar of the Community Canada 937 Posts	Posted 07/03/2012 7:02 pm Thanks for the link, dialog, A sweet error for sure. I've dealt with that ebayer before, and while his stuff is portrayed well and he ships quick enough, I find that his prices always seem to be just a shade high for my pocketbook. On the other hand, I haven't seen that error before -- although it looks quite similar to nickelsguy's 1946 (minus the die chips) which started this thread -- so it might be worth a chance. Is it something you've seen around to base a price comparison? Nickelsguy: Sorry about highjacking the thread, but to try and get it back on track -- with the die cracks in your coin and the 1950 dialog showed, have you noticed a similar crack in other years? I know there are tons of varieties of 1940's 50-cent pieces, but I don't know the die crack variations well enough. Do you have other ones you could show us? Report this Post to the Staff
