Overview

Historical significance

This coin was minted during the early reign of King George V. The year 1912 is notable in Canadian numismatics as it followed the 'Godless' coin controversy of 1911 and represents the established design used before the 1937 modernization of Canadian coinage. These silver half-dollars were workhorse coins used in the early 20th-century Canadian economy.

Estimated value

$15.00 - $150.00 USD (Highly dependent on condition/grade; heavily circulated coins are valued mostly for silver content, while Uncirculated specimens can exceed $500).

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place using PVC-free coin flips or capsules. Do not clean or polish the coin, as chemical abrasives or physical scrubbing can permanently damage the surface and significantly reduce numismatic value. Handle only by the edges to avoid transferring finger oils to the metal.
