Elizabeth II "Large Beads" 5 Cents 1965 MS65 PCGS, Royal Canadian mint, KM60.1. Rare quality for this rare variety, showcasing near-satiny sheen in the obverse fields and full prooflike gleam on the reverse. Very few marks confirm Gem quality, and several minor strike-throughs (towards the bottom right of Elizabeth's portrait and to the right of the S in CENTS on the reverse) are noted for accuracy's sake. Highly coveted among collectors of Elizabeth II's coinage and matching the finest we've seen, with the only other MS65 we've offered (Sale 3030 - Lot 23241) bringing $4,993.75 in our January 2014 New York auction.
