Elizabeth II "Large Date - Large Ship" 10 Cents 1969 XF Details (Scratch) PCGS, Royal Canadian mint (?), KM73. Large date, large ship variety. One of 10-20 known examples of this extremely rare type. There are various versions of how the 1969 large date variety came to exist; some think the coin was struck in Philadelphia as a sample to show Canadian mint officials, and some think the coin was inadvertently struck from the retooled 1968 dies that were abandoned after the retooling process. Whatever the case, this type has become a famous modern rarity of the Canadian numismatic series. The present offering has scratches to both the obverse and reverse, but is otherwise a pleasing XF with residual luster.
