1921 Canadian 50 cent needs verification
Posted: Tue Sep 27, 2016 5:02 pm
A friend and I own what we believe is a 1921 Canadian .50 cent coin. Unfortunately it is so worn that it is hard to verify this.
We have checked it out under a very powerful microscope and can just make out parts of the second 1.
I tried to take pictures of it with a 90mm macro lens but it is extremely hard to make out.
I believe the police have equipment that can identify it unfortunately my contacts left the department many years ago.
I sent an email to Louis at CCCS in Montreal to see if they have any equipment that can verify that this is a 1921 - 50 cent coin. Unfortunately Louis said he could not do anything with out seeing the full date.
Are any of you aware of any source that can verify that this is a genuine 1921 - 50 cent coin.
Attached are 2 cropped photos with a small part of the second one circled. I tried to get a shot of the bottom part of the one but can't get the angle for that photo.
Thanks
