Description
George V 5 Cents 1925, KM29, MS65 PCGS. Only 201,921 coins were minted, the lowest production total of the type. Other than 1926 with a mintage just under 1 million coins, every other date from 1922 to 1936 had a mintage in excess of 2 million coins. An important rarity in the Canadian 5 Cent nickel series, this Gem is one of just two MS65 pieces that PCGS has certified, with none finer (7/09). The Belzberg Collection had a Specimen 67 and a MS64, and the Norweb Collection had a Specimen 67 and a MS60. The Pittman Collection had four pieces, grading VG to Fine. This satiny Gem has fully lustrous light gray surfaces with some original planchet marks evident in the fields, as struck. There is no indication of any later abrasions.From the Canadiana Collection
