Description
George V 25 Cents 1915, KM24, MS65 PCGS, Ex: Ferguson-Norweb. The sole finest example of the date certified by PCGS (7/09) and a longstanding claimant to that title, as the green label holder evinces. Both sides of this lustrous beauty are largely silver-white with a hint of blue; only a smattering of sage at the lower left obverse margin is a distinctly different color. As a rule, the 25 Cents coins struck during George V's reign circulated heavily. The low-mintage 1915 issue received no particular attention until decades after its striking, by which time only a handful of unworn coins existed. In the Norweb sale, the cataloger described this coin as a "legend-to-be," and in the context of this magnificent collection, the legend has become truth.From the Canadiana Collection
