1904 Canada 50 Cents — PCGS AU 55 | King Edward VII | Key Date | Low Mintage | .925 Silver

A highly desirable about uncirculated example of the 1904 Canada Fifty Cents — certified and graded About Uncirculated 55 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), cert 32108.55/32729674, in a mid-generation PCGS gold shield era holder. The 1904 is the key date of the Edward VII Canadian fifty cent series, struck with a mintage of only 60,000 pieces — the lowest of any date in the series — making it genuinely scarce in all grades and highly sought by collectors completing the Edward VII set. At AU 55, this coin retains nearly full original detail with only the lightest wear on the highest points, and displays attractive original toning over lustrous surfaces.

The obverse features the right-facing crowned portrait of King Edward VII by G.W. De Saulles, surrounded by the legend EDWARDVS VII DEI GRA: REX IMPERATOR. The reverse displays the Canadian Coat of Arms with the denomination 50 CENTS above and CANADA / 1904 below. Struck in .925 fine silver at the Heaton Mint, Birmingham (no mintmark).
