I'm SO stoked with one of my newest additions, received last week. My Canadian Pride & Joy because it has a whole lot of personal meaning to me related to my birth year, my Mom, and happy early childhood memories. My new to me Canadian 1954 fifty cent piece. I've wanted to get my hands on one of these babies for decades and now thanks to ....... (can I tell that you sent? :) ) I am now the proud new owner of one of these babies. WOO HOO! Here she be, perfect for me, we both show our age some but she has held up better than I have for these 56 years    |

PS: I'd really like to make the reverse my new avatar but I don't know how to go about doing that. Can anyone help or direct me in "how to"? Thank you   |

WTG on you're Milestone Dottir  Did you notice the doubling on Canada?  If I am correct  |

Hi  It kind of looks like doubling doesn't it? But I think it just looks like that in the photo due to the raised block lettering and light reflections on those raised edges. Plus I just don't think the previous owner who sent me the coin would have parted with it if it was a DD 1954 fifty cent piece ... if it was/is, I would expect an immediate email saying OOPS SEND IT BACK or gimmie lotsa money ASAP lady  |

Thanks lots Cdn44fan! You made me take a close look as I hadn't noticed that before, so I thank you for that. What if it WAS DD and both me and the previous owner hadn't yet noticed it until you commented? Your comments were a good thing in my books |

That is one beautiful coin Dottir! And I'm quite sure the sender would be happy it had even more features and wouldn't expect a return |

 Congrats on you find. I'm having the same problem finding this date. My goal is to acquire the Elizabethan Half Dollar series from 1953-1967 in I.C.C.S., MS-65 and the only one I have left to acquire is the 1954. Maybe someone out there may have knowledge on the whereabouts of one, if so, let me know! Glenn |
