50 Cents. 1910. Edwardian Leaves. ICCS graded Very Choice Uncirculated-64. Introduction of a new reverse die in 1910 resulted in two varieties for the 50 cent, with the new engraving being dubbed the 'Edwardian' leaves version, since the detail of the maple leaves differed slightly from those of the reverse used since the Victorian era. The bold strike of this coin clearly shows the slight curvature of the two small leaves at 3 o'clock, as well as ample detail throughout. The obverse portrait is especially sharp, showing the fine engraving of the moustache and beard that is often absent on Edwardian coins. The lustrous surfaces have toned to a handsome caramel bronze with hints of violet.

High grade examples of the Edwardian Leaves 50 cent are tremendously scarce, with none graded higher than MS-64 by either ICCS or PCGS. This example stands alone as the sole finest graded by the former service. A tremendous rarity.
