Stunning Norweb Specimen MS66 1921 5 Cent Silver

George V silver 5 Cent 1921, KM22a, MS66 PCGS, Ex: Norweb Collection. The strike is sharp and the surfaces mark-free with mottled russet and gold toning. This issue stands solidly at the pinnacle of the 5 Cent silver series. With over 2,000,000 of the original mintage melted, and only a few hundred pieces released by the mint (the vast majority of which went directly into circulation), it is relatively easy to understand why this issue is so elusive. Common knowledge suggests that the very few surviving Mint State examples were given to visitors to the Ottawa Mint in 1921, or sold to numismatists. Only one piece has been certified finer than this amazing coin by PCGS (2/1), and that was listed earlier in our offering of the Canadiana Collection.
