Elizabeth II Specimen "Shoulder Fold" Dollar 1953 SP65 PCGS, Royal Canadian Mint, KM54. Shoulder Fold/Strap variety. If Specimens were to receive 'Deep Cameo' grades, this piece would surely be amongst the first in line, Elizabeth's portrait richly coated in matte frost. The fields of this offering are pristine, fully deserving of a gem level certification; faint die-polish lines are visible upon inspection, but for the most part one is left with an impression of watery sleekness. Seemingly unique at PCGS, with no comparable examples graded by NGC; indeed, auction record shows just one other Specimen - Strap example having sold within the last two decades.
