Description

George V 10 Cents 1936 Dot, KM23a, Specimen 63 PCGS, Specimen 63 ICCS. Bold details with gold and charcoal patina over smooth surfaces. As with the Belzberg coin, this piece does not have the protective lacquering seen on the 1936 Dot cents. We mentioned in our description of the Belzberg coin that there are five known Dot dimes, all Specimens, two of which are permanently housed in the Bank of Canada Collection, and that one of the five was discovered in 2000 when it was sold by a mint employee to a private collector. This is the discovery coin from the mint employee and one of only three pieces that we can account for in private hands. One of the true classic Canadian rarities.
From the Dominion Collection.

Metal: Silver
Diameter: 17.90mm
Weight: 2.332g
