Canada. 1885. North West Canada Medal with ribbon. Extremely Fine+. This medal was presented to the soldiers who took part in the suppression of Riel's Rebellion of 1885, who fought in one or all of the main encounters during the rebellion. These battles took place along the Saskatchewan River at Fish Creek, Batoche, Cut Knife and Frenchman's Butte. 920 of these medals were authorized for issue to members of the NWMP (North West Mounted Police), although they were originally to be excluded; medals later issued to the NWMP were engraved with the recipients name. This particular medal is engraved to "PVT THOS CAMBRIDGE SR. F. CO MID. BATT" (First Column, Midland Battalion) in edge lettering. The obverse of the medal features a diademed and veiled effigy of the Queen Victoria, facing left, with the legend VICTORIA REGINA ET IMPERATRIX; the reverse legend reads NORTH WEST / 1885 / CANADA in three lines within a wreath of maple leaves. The attached ribbon is a rich slate blue with red stripes and is in pristine condition; the medal shows some evidence of light cleaning, but is otherwise very attractive, with light bronze toning.
10 Cents. 1880-H. Obverse 2. ICCS graded Superb Gem Uncirculated-66. A superlative example of the Victorian 5 cent, boasting sublime toning in shades of deep orange-gold, bronze and indigo. Ideally struck, with all three locks of hair above the ear clearly defined and sharp leaves around the entire perimeter. The interplay of the rainbow patina and deep lustre creates an alluring eye appeal. Solo finest example graded by ICCS, with second finest being 2 grades lower in MS-64.
10 Cents. 1912. ICCS graded Gem Uncirculated-65. All design elements are boldly impressed in this dazzling piece. The near flawless fields are toned to the palest bronze, intensifying to burnt orange and violet towards the legends and leaves. Top 10 census, with only 1 coin graded finer by ICCS in MS-66.
10 Cents. 1934. ICCS graded Superb Gem Uncirculated-66. While 1934 is the second lowest mintage of the George V 10 cents, ICCS has graded fewer coins in MS than the official lowest mintage year of 1935. This example is tied with only one other as the finest they have graded. Variegated toning of smoke-grey, violet and bronze overlays the boldly struck elements and lustrous fields. A premium gem.
25 Cents. 1908. ICCS graded Gem Uncirculated-65. 1908 marked the opening of the Royal Canadian Mint and the beginning of production of coins on Canadian soil. This coin is a fitting tribute to the legacy of the Mint, as it remains in a remarkable state of preservation since it was first struck. Only the attractive grey-bronze toning and deep gunmetal blue highlights speak of the intervening years. The subtle lustre, placid fields and boldly-struck details remain as they were in 1908. Top 10 census, with only a single coin graded finer by ICCS in MS-66.
25 Cents. 1914. ICCS graded Very Choice Uncirculated-64. Translucent tones of gunmetal blue and violet glaze the obverse, while the reverse is a lighter silver bronze. The powerful strike is evident throughout, yielding crisp detail and nice fields. Top 10 ICCS census, with only one coin graded finer in MS-65.
50 Cents. 1910. Edwardian Leaves. ICCS graded Very Choice Uncirculated-64. Introduction of a new reverse die in 1910 resulted in two varieties for the 50 cent, with the new engraving being dubbed the 'Edwardian' leaves version, since the detail of the maple leaves differed slightly from those of the reverse used since the Victorian era. The bold strike of this coin clearly shows the slight curvature of the two small leaves at 3 o'clock, as well as ample detail throughout. The obverse portrait is especially sharp, showing the fine engraving of the moustache and beard that is often absent on Edwardian coins. The lustrous surfaces have toned to a handsome caramel bronze with hints of violet. High grade examples of the Edwardian Leaves 50 cent are tremendously scarce, with none graded higher than MS-64 by either ICCS or PCGS. This example stands alone as the sole finest graded by the former service. A tremendous rarity.
1 Dollar. 1936. ICCS graded Superb Gem Uncirculated-66. While the reverse design remained unchanged for the second issue of Canada's silver dollar, the obverse die featuring the design of Sir E.B. MacKennal, first prepared in 1911, was put into service. This piece exhibits deeply lustrous surfaces overlaid with balanced light bronze toning. Exceptionally detailed throughout the obverse crown and regalia, with only a few pinpoint traces of contact separating this coin from the single MS-67 attributed by ICCS. An outstanding gem.
1 Dollar. 1938. ICCS graded Superb Gem Uncirculated-66. One of the key dates of the George VI silver dollars, with a scant mintage of only 90,304 pieces. This handsome coin is draped in translucent hues of deep bronze and mahogany, through which radiates the lovely shifting lustre. Few examples of the 1938 dollar have achieved a Gem attribution from ICCS, and only a trio have warranted a premium grade of MS-66. A rare opportunity to obtain such a census rarity.
1 Dollar. 1947 Maple Leaf; Double HP. ICCS graded Gem Uncirculated-65. This is arguably the second most sought-after of all Canadian silver dollars, surpassed only by the 1948. Only 21,135 pieces were struck, as they were only ever intended to be an emergency measure. When India gained independence from England in 1947, it necessitated that 'Emperor of India' be dropped from the royal title, and thus created chaos for the Royal Canadian Mint. Demand for all denominations of currency was high in 1948, but new master dies that bore the correct legend were still being tooled. As a solution, a small maple leaf icon was added to the 1947 dies, effectively marking the coins struck from them as actually having been minted in 1948. This magnificent example exhibits faintly mirrored fields that are also subtly lustrous, the result of improved chromium-plated dies introduced in 1945. Just a hint of bronze-gold toning encircles the rims of the otherwise brilliant surfaces. One of only four coins given a Gem attribution from ICCS, and the sole example in MS-65. A stunning example of this desirable key date.
