Edward VII gold Sovereign 1909-C MS66 PCGS, Ottawa mint, KM14. A truly astounding example of this first date Edward VII gold Sovereign struck as an actual circulation coin. As we know, all of the 1908's were Specimen strikes. This incredible piece (and I'm afraid I'll run out of adjectives before I finish describing this glorious item) has near-flawless, satiny surfaces, with full, golden mint brilliance, and superbly defined details throughout. In our January 2010 sale of the Canadiana Collection, we said, "The present 1909-C is one of only two Gems for the issue certified at PCGS, and there are none finer." There still remain only the two MS65 pieces certified by PCGS, but here is a piece that is towering above all other Mint State 1909-C Sovereigns, condition-wise, of which we were unaware, and so was PCGS until recently. A wondrous Edward VII Sovereign and essentially unimprovable.From The Eric Beckman Collection of Canadian Coins
Estimate: 25000-30000 USD
