George V gold Specimen 10 Dollars 1912 SP69 PCGS, Ottawa mint, KM27. Ranked at the very peak of not only this issue, but of the entirety of the vintage Canadian series, a feat accomplished by so few representatives across all denominations and dates, yet seeing three in PCGS's census for this type. The 1912 Canadian Specimens are comparably more obtainable than most other years; yet, when encountered in this elite preservation, their rarity increases tenfold as does their appeal to grade-conscious collectors. Blessed with a pervasive satiny resplendence, and likely precluded from unfathomable perfection due to the presence of a single, seemingly imperceptible contact mark to the obverse field. Hands down the finest we have offered, besting even the Schroeder and Mossman examples, each only SP68s, and as such, we anticipate a hammer consistent with this fact.
