Watch List notes:

George V gold 5 Dollars 1912, Crowned bust left / Arms with date and value, KM26, MS66 PCGS. Superbly struck, with reddish-gold patina and full mint brilliance. The surfaces are free of notable flaws, and with this spectacular example, one might easily consider the stated grade a bit conservative. None have been certified finer by PCGS, with only two others certified in MS66 (3/0). This phenomenal piece , and a following lot (an equally stunning 1912 10 Dollars), have been together since the time of their mintage in 1912. They were purchased, in the year of issue, by a woman in Fredericton, New Brunswick, as a birth present for her daughter. In 1985, the granddaughter of the original purchaser (the daughter of the original recipient) sold the pieces to noted Canadian numismatist Sandy Campbell. Campbell placed them in the collection of Jack Alston, a connoisseur of high-grade Canadian coinage whose collection has taken on legendary proportions for it's quality. In 1989, these superb pieces were acquired privately by our present consignor as a set.

Estimate: 12500.00-15000.00 USD
