glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 12:50 pm Speaking about Canadian half dollars, did anyone happen to notice the HUGE error made by the author, Peter Mosiondz, Jr. in the latest Canadian Coin News. See the article he wrote on page 15 about Victorian halves, however, I won't mention what the error is. I wanna see who here is the first to notice it!

LaureateBust Valued Member Canada 331 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 1:57 pm @Glenn Yes, I noticed the mintages were unbelievably high for 1871 coins. 200,000,000 50 cent pieces from The Royal Mint and 45,000,000 from the Heaton Mint? That mintage is much higher than Edward VII, George V, and George VI 50 cent pieces combined. Only problem is, Charlton also reports the same numbers. Surely it was 200,000 and 45,000?

glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 01/10/2013 3:01 pm It has to be some kind of a typo with Charlton Cat and a miss print by C,C,N, staff. If those were the real mintages, trust me the availability of Mintstate examples would be a dime a dozen! Glenn Report this Post to the Staff
