Description
Victoria 10 Cents 1888, KM3, MS65 PCGS. With a mintage of half a million pieces one might expect the 1888 to be more available than it is. PCGS has only certified 29 pieces in all grades (7/09). Surprisingly, 20 of those coins are in various Uncirculated grades, which would indicate the existence of a small hoard (roll?) at one time. This example is tied with two others at the MS65 level, the finest certified. The mint luster is softly frosted, and except for a hint of golden peripheral color, the coin is untoned. The devices on each side are well brought up, with just a few tiny, pinprick field marks on both sides.From the Canadiana Collection
