Everest Pillar of the Community Taiwan 606 Posts	Posted 11/15/2022 8:20 pm Will: Bowers and Merena was the auction company for the Norweb sale of Canadian coins on 15 Nov 1996. I was fortunate to be in attendance. As you well know these superb coins appear very infrequently as most were sold into strong hands such as yourself. Kudos for making it happen.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 11/16/2022 02:06 am Nice to see the beard, eyebrow and mustache detail on KG V as sharp as this. These are the details I closely look at very closely, when grading any KG V coin. Reasons for less sharpness are 1. worn die 2. worn coin 3. light strike. Report this Post to the Staff

jeffbuckes Pillar of the Community United States 839 Posts	Posted 11/21/2022 9:51 pm @thedollarman - That is a stunning example and a great story for your coin. King George V has some of my FAVORITE coin designs of all time, and the Canada Dollar is at or near the top of my list. I have a couple from 1936 (different KM of course), but I have the 1935 on my wishlist!! PS: The 5-cent piece (nickel 1922 - 1936) is a close tie with the dollar for me. I love the reverse on that coin too! Report this Post to the Staff

Sid Belzberg Valued Member Canada 50 Posts	Posted 12/05/2022 10:31 pm Will, Huge Congrats, you can't go wrong with an awesome coin with incredible provenance. I remember seeing that lot at the Norweb sale and loved the story behind it at the time. At the time, there were so many lots that I needed that it was easy to overlook this incredible coin in its own right. Happy collecting! Sid Belzberg Report this Post to the Staff
thedollarman Pillar of the Community Canada 4911 Posts	Posted 12/06/2022 2:21 pm Thanks for the kind words everybody! If the gentleman who sold this to me does happen to read this forum, please know that this is by far the most important coin in my collection and a piece I truly love! @Sid Belzberg It's always cool getting to talk to people who held the same coins decades ago.. two of my favorite pieces are actually coins from your collection. I was able to reunite your 1939 SP66 dime and 1939 SP66 quarter.. The quarter now resides in a PCGS SP66+CAM. I'm very thankful for gentleman like you who made sure to take care of their collections! Feel free to call me Will. Edited by thedollarman 12/06/2022 2:22 pm Report this Post to the Staff
