It's funny, although my Krause is an edition old, this coin in VG is $7 with a mintage of only 150k, while the Canadian 1899 50-cent in VG is $100 - true it is only 50k mintage, but still.
Even a Newfoundland 50cent with same mintage, similar year (1881 or even 1885) with mintage of 50k and 40k book vg around $20.
Is newfoundland coins Canada's red-headed step-child or something?

Newfoundland 50c coins are dang cheap considering the mintages.

I noticed that, too. And not just the 50c pieces, either.
