CANADA. Dollar, 1955. Ottawa Mint. Elizabeth II. PCGS MS-65.
KM-54. 1-1/2 (Arnprior) Water Lines variety. Colorful iridescent toning is so extraordinary it deserves to be lingered over. Flaxen gold color dominates, along with lilac, bright rose, magenta, and a sapphire base, but the consistency is soft and smooth, complementing as opposed to distracting. Surfaces are spared most of the usual chatter and marks, and looking past the gripping eye appeal, this example is technically very strong for the Gem grade level. It is no surprise it is tied for the finest example at PCGS.
Estimate: $200 - $400
