This specimen was lot 70280 in Stack's Bowers Collector's Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, May 2018), where it sold for $50. The catalog description[1] noted, "CANADA. 50 Cents, 1940. PCGS MS-62 Secure Holder. Frosty and virtually free of marks. Perhaps worthy of a higher grade but for a slight weakness of strike on the reverse." The death of George V provided the occasion for the complete redesign of Canadian coinage with more distinctly Canadian motifs. This type was struck 1937-47 with the wartime issues of 1940-45 being the most common. Silver was removed from the fifty cent piece in 1968.
Recorded mintage: 1,996,566.
Specification: 11.62 g, 0.800 fine silver, .300 troy oz ASW, reeded edge.
Catalog reference: KM-36.
