Description
Victoria 10 Cents 1887, KM3, MS64 PCGS. The 1887 is a scarce and underrated 10 Cents issue. The mintage was a net 350,000 pieces out of a total struck of 377,644. It is not difficult to imagine how few examples were saved in 19th century Canada, and indeed the 1887 is a significant absolute as well as condition rarity today. PCGS has certified only 27 coins of this date in all grades, and a mere 10 pieces have been graded in mint condition. This piece is tied with three others as the finest graded by PCGS (7/09). The mint luster is especially pronounced and frosted on each side. The obverse is mostly untoned in the center with rose-gold accents around the margin, while the reverse has the same colors but more evenly distributed. The devices are sharply struck throughout, and there are no singularly noticeable abrasions.From the Canadiana Collection
