Canada: Edward VII gold Sovereign 1910-C,...

Description

Edward VII gold Sovereign 1910-C, KM14, MS65 PCGS, bust right/St. George slaying the dragon, date in exergue below, Ex: Cornwell. Another Ottawa Mint sovereign of this equally rare (to the 1909-C) issue, produced to the extent of 28,020 pieces, of which nearly all were subsequently melted. The late author of the sovereign reference, Michael A. Marsh, rates this issue R2 or "very rare." In the present Gem condition of this astounding piece, of course, it is much rarer still. This is an absolutely pristine Gem with golden toning and superb definition, the only certified MS65 example of the issue at PCGS, and there are none finer (8/09). The Belzberg example was an MS63.
