Victoria 10 Cents 1887/7 MS64+ PCGS, London mint, KM3. The only PCGS-certified example of this overdate variety, unlisted in the Standard Catalog of World Coins. The 1887 is a scarce and underrated 10 Cents issue. The mintage was a net 350,000 pieces out of a total of 377,644 struck, decidedly on the lowest end for the type. It is not difficult to imagine how few examples would have been saved in 19th century Canada, and indeed the 1887 is a significant absolute as well as conditional rarity today. Attractively toned, with a fine silty patina transitioning to seafoam and gold coloration at the peripheries.
