Uploader comment: This detail comes from a 1953 Silver 50 cent Canadian, it's known in coins collectors world as a NSF large date, the rarest of the 1953 half dollar Canadian silver coin. The word Ozz or Ozzy depends on how you look at it, some see Ozz others see Ozzy but i think it's Ozz, it is near the shoulder of the Lion on the reverse of the coin, it's very rare and some say it was a reference of the artist who designed the die to the movie Wizard of Ozz (remember it's on the Lion paw)... The coin used for this pic is in my Private collection.

I found this coin in a bag of coin i bought in an auction for 100$....a group of gold and sylver coins buyers looked at the coins in the bag and offered me 150$ for the whole bag, i refused to sell, so i did researches by myself and what i found out made me fall off my chair, i got them evaluated by reliable source, the net worth of the bag is well over 10.000$, this coin only is worth more than 2.500$, if you find old coins, do a researches on them, dont sell them before you really know what they are worth.
