George V Specimen 10 Cents 1934, Ottawa mint, KM23a, SP66 PCGS. Rare as a Specimen and absent from many of the most advanced Canadian collections with examples in this format missing from notable collection such as Norweb and Belzberg. Indeed, while we've had the privilege of offering nearly every collectible issue of Canada since the inception of our World Coin department over thirteen years ago, this stands out as the first Specimen 10 cents of the date that we have seen. A crisply defined Gem, the luster on the present example is distinctly of fine matte texture. Minimal handling, as is suggested by the grade, is apparent and golden tone, mixed with light reddish color on the reverse, accompanies the surfaces. The PCGS and NGC and population reports highlight the true scarcity of this issue - 2 have been graded by PCGS and 1 by NGC. Of the three, the present example is the single finest.From The Prager Collection of Canadian Specimen Coins
Estimate: 7000-9000 USD
