Description
George VI 10 Cents 1937, KM34, Matte Specimen 67 PCGS. Struck for the first year of the reign of George VI from dies made at the Paris Mint. Interestingly, the 1937 has a date that is slightly smaller than subsequent George VI dimes. A total of 1,295 Specimens were minted. Although the exact distribution is unknown, both mirror and matte finishes were used for these special issues.This piece has similar toning to the example in the Norweb Collection (Bowers and Merena, 11/1996, lot 251) that was originally from the King Farouk sale. Appealing light blue toning in the centers is surrounded by iridescent red-orange patina in the margins. Soft luster radiates from the immaculate surfaces. An attractive, nearly fully struck example. PCGS has certified just two pieces finer (7/09).
