George VI Specimen 25 Cents 1939 SP66 PCGS, Royal Canadian Mint, KM35. One of just three examples of this extremely rare Specimen type certified by either NGC or PCGS, and tied for finest graded. Fabulously preserved with perfect glossy surfaces, worthy of a 'cameo' designation for its frosted devices; we have never handled another of this type before, the nearest equivalent a 1939 Specimen 10 Cents. A 1939 specimen set consists of three denominations only: 10 Cents, 25 Cent and 1 Dollar. The three coins were never actually issued as a set and this might suggest that the influential 10 Cent and 25 Cent collectors may have had a hand in the production of these minor coins in Specimen. Auction record shows no other 1939 Specimen Quarters appearing at auction in the last two decades, making this offering a once-in-a-generation opportunity for the highest-tier Canadian collector.
