I'm not sure of the premium it would bring. They are scarce. Most people don't look at Provincials for varieties so you are after the hard core variety hound on something like this. If it were me, I would put it a way for a few years and see where the market goes.
If I was in the market to buy one, I would be looking for the variety to cherrypick rather than pay big money for it. Since we don't know how rare it is, it is too big a chance to take. It could turn out like the 1909 ML C/B 5 cent piece. Charlton lists "only 4 known". Well there are at least 20 or 30 known pieces out there at the moment. There is now doubt it is scarce, but with people starting to look for them, they numbers will only go up.
