Description

Beautiful Broad Leaves 10 Cents 1913--Tied for Finest Certified by PCGS

George V 10 Cents 1913 Broad Leaves, KM23, MS64 PCGS. The Broad Leaves hub was introduced in 1909, but used intermittently through 1913. The 1913 10 Cents is certainly not a rare date, with 3.6 million pieces produced. However, one die was used from a previous year with the old Broad Leaves reverse on only a slim portion of the pieces. Not only did this die receive limited use, but the 1913 Broad Leaves is one of the great condition rarities among all Canadian 10 Cents issue. PCGS has certified only four Mint State pieces, of which this coin is tied for finest (7/09). To give an idea of the rarity of this issue in Uncirculated grades, the Norweb Broad Leaves was a VF20, the Pittman example was Choice AU, and the Belzberg coin was an MS62.

The surfaces are generally untoned in the centers, with a light accent of reddish-gold around the margins. The luster is satiny and interrupted by only the smallest abrasions, which are mostly unnoticeable without a loupe. Only the Specimen 1936 Dot 10 Cents is rarer than the 1913 Broad Leaves. This is a rare opportunity for the Canadian collector and an especially important coin in this condition.
