Newfoundland. George VI Specimen 5 Cents 1946-C SP67 PCGS, Royal Canadian Mint, KM19a. Of simply astounding quality for the issue, the present example expresses a degree of preservation that places it firmly as a grade-rarity for the issue, confirmed by the PCGS Population Report where it ties for finest-graded out of only four Specimens seen to-date. Only 2,041 business strikes were produced alongside an estimated 10-15 Specimens (at least one, the Belzberg example, certified as "Prooflike" in the past). Especially considering the small stature of the offering, the precision of the strike does not go unnoticed, each detail down to the most minute ornament in George's crown fully defined and expressed with great clarity against the surrounding fields, which consistently appear reflective, brilliant, and virtually free of handling.
