George V "Broad Leaves" 10 Cents 1913 MS63 PCGS, Ottawa mint, KM23. Broad leaves in reverse wreath variety. An extremely rare variety, the result of the use of the "Broad Leaves" hub, first introduced in 1909 but used infrequently after 1913. Popular in any grade, this type is almost never encountered in Mint State and indeed this MS63 offering ranks amongst the finest. Despite this it still appears conservatively graded, entirely without wear and significant contact marks; it would not look out of place in a higher numbered holder. Bright white with a hint of pale gold tone, every detail struck up and bold. The last MS63 example of this type we handled sold in our January 2015 auction for $17,000 hammer, and we strongly anticipate comparable excitement for this charming rarity.
