George V gold Specimen 10 Dollars 1912 SP68 PCGS, Ottawa mint, KM27. A truly remarkable example of this popular issue, remaining essentially perfect well over a century since it was struck. The 1912 Canadian Specimens are comparably more obtainable than most other years; yet, when encountered in this elite preservation, their rarity increases tenfold as does their appeal to grade-conscious collectors. This piece was clearly produced to an impeccable standard and handled accordingly, its apricot-hued surfaces exhibiting nothing in the way of contact marks and glistening with cartwheel luster. The strike is, in a word, pristine with a finer portrait of George than the cataloguer has ever seen before on this type, fully defined and definitively medallic. The last example in this lofty grade we handled sold in our April 2017 sale for $22,000 hammer, and we do not doubt that this incredible offering will attract comparable excitement. A coin which impresses at every turn.
From the James Mossman Collection of Canadian Coinage
