Elizabeth II gold Mint Error Proof "National Parks" 100 Dollars 1985 PR69 Ultra Cameo NGC, Royal Canadian mint, KM144, Fr-16. Multi-struck, and quite extraordinarily so. A highly unexpected chain of events must have occurred not only to produce this exceptional piece, but also to allow it to exit the mint as such an obvious and major error. It is challenging to describe the sheer three-dimensional nature and appeal of this offering; on the obverse it is a near-pristine, mirrored planchet with an approximately 20% crescent of the intended design actually minted on it. The reverse appears satiny and with a faint echo of the bighorn ram covering the field, again with a c. 15% sliver of the intended strike successfully executed on the planchet that was warped and deformed by the enormous pressure exerted on it. In all likelihood the first of such dramatic scope that we have offered and rare as such.
