Description
1858 Province of Canada 20 Cents MS66
Victoria 20 Cents 1858, KM4, MS66 PCGS. The largest of the Province of Canada denominations, the 20 Cents coin is also the only one not to survive to the post-Confederation era as a circulating coin; the 25 Cents denomination took its place. The Dominion of Canada made a point of removing the 20 Cents coins from circulation, and as a result, survivors are elusive today, though worn examples remain affordable. Mint State coins, however, present their own challenges. This Premium Gem, tied with one other for the finest certified by PCGS (7/09), has vibrant luster that swirls beneath orange, copper-tan, and sage patina. Slight striking softness on the portrait is redeemed by the overall eye appeal.From the Canadiana Collection
