George V Specimen 10 Cents 1929 SP68 PCGS, Ottawa mint, KM23a. A seemingly unimprovable Superb jewel with needle-sharp striking definition up to the very highest points, undisturbed satin luster and even golden tone that bathes both sides. Generally considered to be one of the more available Specimen dates for George V, the date is curiously missing from essentially all of the major collections of this generation - it was absent in Norweb, Pittman and Belzberg. In fact, not until very recently did we handle our first example of the date, a NGC graded SP66. Of the nine examples that show in the PCGS census, none seem to have appeared at auction until now, suggesting those that are owned are held rather tightly. Tied for the finest known and certain to attract much pent-up demand given its elite status.
