1938 1 Dollar SPECIMEN 67 PCGS. Ex: Norweb Collection. Mottled blue and lilac toning with golden highlights. Until this coin surfaced in the Norweb Collection, it was thought that even so much as a Gem example did not exist. Undoubtedly, one of the finer pieces known. One of the key issues in the entire Specimen Dollar series. Only nine pieces total have been certified by PCGS, and none finer than Specimen 67. (PCGS# 32434)

1948 1 Dollar SPECIMEN 65 PCGS. SPECIMEN 66 ICCS. Bright and untoned with deeply mirrored fields. The 1948 is the most noted issue in the Canadian Dollar series. Although considered the key date among the Dollars, the 1948 Specimen, although rare, is not one of the more elusive Specimen strikes in the series. (PCGS# 32442)

Toronto - The Canadian Bank of Commerce $5 Jan. 2, 1892 Ch. 75-14-04cLike other such events, the Yukon Gold Rush of 1898 caused a shortage of circulating currency in the immediate region of the precious metal discoveries. This note was part of a special emergency issue of notes that were overprinted "YUKON" and were sent to that remote outpost to help alleviate that shortage. Only a handful of these special issue notes are known to have survived. This pleasing circulated example easily grades Very Good, and despite some light soiling on either side maintains good eye appeal for the grade. An important rarity that should not be overlooked by the Canadian specialist, and another note that is likely to the raising of numerous bidder cards. (PCGS# 9000004)

Still, this remains an extremely important example for the Canadian specialist, and bidding should easily reach or exceed our estimate of. . . (PCGS# 9000004)

The centering is just a trifle low on the face, hence the assigned grade, otherwise this note is as nice as could be imagined. It bears serial number 111, and as such is a very near match to the above English Text note. (PCGS# 9000004)

BC-12 $25 1935 French Text Extremely Fine. Like the above note, this French Issue $25 is likely to generate considerable interest among bidders. Although not nearly as high grade as the previous piece, this example is still much nicer than is usually seen. Two light vertical folds that trisect the note are visible after close inspection. As an added bonus it bears serial number 2, and should cause much excitement among specialists in low serial number notes. Our estimate here may prove to be on the conservative side. (PCGS# 9000004)

BC-12 $25 1935 French Text Gem Crisp Uncirculated. This $25 note was a special commemorative issue that marked the Silver Jubilee of the reign of King George V. Featuring portraits of both the King and Queen Mary on the face, this note displays a magnificent vignette of Windsor Castle on the back. It was issued in both French and English versions, and as with nearly all of these early Bank of Canada issues, the number of survivors of the French version is much smaller today.

This French version note is absolutely stunning in every sense, with perfect centering, immaculate paper quality, and great colors. These notes are quite simply never seen this nice, and a finer example of this ever-popular "Banque du Canada" $25 is not likely to exist. We expect the bidding on this Gem quality example to easily reach or exceed our estimate of. . . (PCGS# 9000004)

BC-16 $100 1935 French Text Choice Crisp Uncirculated. Yet another incredible note from the Belzberg Collection, this French Text $100 is nearly perfect, although some hardly noticeable softness at the corners leads us to call this note Choice as opposed to Gem. It is well centered, boldly embossed, and richly colored. It is doubtful that many (if any) notes from this issue have survived in such a pristine state, and it is nearly certain that a nicer one will not appear on the market in the near future.

1901 Calgary Silver Indian Peace Medal Issued for the "Assembly of North American Indians." According to the book, Medals Awarded to North American Indian Chiefs 1714-1922," by Melvill Allan Jamieson, "During the world tour of Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, now their Majesties King George V and Queen Mary, undertaken soon after the accession of King Edward VII, Canada was visited in the autumn of 1901, as in the other parts of the British Empire a gathering of the native tribes was held to offer allegiance to the Royal travelers who were representing the King Emperor. The assembly of North American Indians took place at Calgary, Alberta, on September 28th, 1901, and was attended by some two thousand Indians who had trekked from different parts of Canada." Several Chiefs from six tribes signed a welcome statement that was read to the Royal visitors by a young Indian boy. His Royal Higness, the Duke of Cornwall, replied to the opening statement and noted that, "The Great King has ordered a silver medal to be struck to commemorate the day, and one medal will be presented to each of the Head Chiefs which shall always be kept by him." This medal has the conjoined busts of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, facing left, with the inscription, THEIR ROYAL HIGHNESSES-THE DUKE AND DUCHESS-OF CORNWALL AND YORK, within a scroll pattern of maple leaves. The reverse has the Royal Arms in the center with CALGARY-SEP 28TH-1901 below and the peripheral legend, PRESENTED TO THE HEAD CHIEFS IN COMMEMORATION OF ASSEMBLY OF INDIAN TRIBES. This medal is 64 mm in diameter and grades a nice XF. The medal is suspended from a ring with a red, white, and blue ribbon, on top of which is a brooch showing an Indian in a canoe, holding a paddle in both hands. The medals were struck for the Canadian Government by Ellis and Co. Ltd., Toronto. This medal is extremely rare with the ribbon and attached brooch, and this is the only example that we have seen as such. (PCGS# 15617)
