ccrider Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 05/21/2019 1:03 pm Hi folks, I just started going through my Canadian coins. I have this 1940 50 cent coin. To my untrained eye it appears to be close to a VF. I would like your opinions please. Thank you, Chris Report this Post to the Staff

ccrider Valued Member United States 97 Posts	Posted 05/22/2019 08:09 am Thanks, guys. It shows some signs of having been cleaned. I inherited it and will pass it down. Report this Post to the Staff

The beads above the crown seem unevenly spaced, and of inconsistent size. At this time (for me), everything is guilty until proven innocent, unfortunately. Report this Post to the Staff

Coin-Flipper Pillar of the Community Canada 605 Posts	Posted 06/05/2019 8:59 pm VF 20 looks legit. The 's' could be Machine Doubling. Old cleaning but its retoning Report this Post to the Staff
