A single 1943 "Supported Four" Cent
In the 1937-1952 George VI Canadian coin series, the obverse of the small cent depicts a bare-headed bust of King George VI with the coin's reverse illustrating a maple twig, the issuing year under the left leaf and K.G. (the designer's initials) under the right leaf. Over the sixteen year span of the George VI cent, 1943 saw the greatest number of coins minted with a quantity approaching 89,112,000 .
For some, collecting mint error coins is certainly one of the most interesting and rewarding areas in the field of numismatics. Said coins
are unique and rarities amoung the vast quantity of coins available. An error coin was created when the die striking the reverse side of
the 1943 small cent failed to register a perfectly defined date resulting in a flaw or bead beneath the number four (4). This flawed strike
is visible to the naked eye. The enlarged photo below helps to illustrate the coin's reverse side with this "supported four" more clearly.
