50 Cents. 1947 Maple Leaf, Straight 7. ICCS graded Gem Uncirculated-65. The independence of India in 1947 had repercussions that reached all the way into Canadian numismatics. New dies were needed to reflect the changes to the royal title in the legend, but they were not completed in time to meet the demands of the Canadian economy. As a stop-gap measure, the Royal Canadian Mint repunched dies dated 1947 with a tiny maple leaf mint mark and struck coins in the calendar year 1948. The resulting 1947 'maple leaf' varieties are widely collected today, but the half dollars remain scarce. This example displays mirrored surfaces and superb detail, overlaid with a tinge of caramel-coloured toning. Tied 1 of only 6 finest graded by ICCS.
