wallyb Pillar of the Community Canada 557 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 1:43 pm Having never collected these before I had no idea Cnd. 50cent coins in the earlier years are so difficult to find. I have a few years I'm looking for and want EF, with little success. Specifically 1900, 1910 and 1911. Are these actually rare, or just extremely popular? Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9862 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 2:58 pm Always at least a couple of each in EF on ebay. So they are by no means rare. It's simply a matter of how much you are willing to pay. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff
kuh_85 Pillar of the Community Canada 2366 Posts	Posted 03/15/2022 10:42 pm Since very few people back then could afford to put aside such a valuable coin, ones in EF+ grade are scarce as well as popular. Therefore expensive. Report this Post to the Staff
wallyb Pillar of the Community Canada 557 Posts	Posted 03/16/2022 6:17 pm I'm willing to pay what the market demands, but finding nice pieces that are graded (a must for me if spending north of $500) has proven to be very difficult. Even dealers seem unable to get these coins very often. Report this Post to the Staff

Not rare, but definitely on the harder side, especially problem free. Good luck on the hunt!that is half the fun and excitement Report this Post to the Staff
