Victoria "Round Top 3" 10 Cents 1893 AU55 PCGS, London mint, KM3. The "Round Top 3" is the most highly recognized issue in the entire Canadian 10 Cents series. It is also a transcendent rarity that is widely recognized by non-Canadian collectors. Estimates vary about the numbers struck and the number that survive. The estimate in the Norweb Collection was 100-200 pieces. In the Pittman Sale catalog, Akers stated estimates range from a low of 25 pieces to a high of 100 coins. The Standard Catalog of World Coins gives a definitive "92 pcs. known", but the actual number is probably no more than 50 coins. This example carries exceptional appeal, the devices sharp for the grade and the centers framed by a uniform ring of cabinet tone at the periphery.
