Description
This 1926 five cent piece represents the Near 6 variety of this strike. The 1926 Near 6 is often overshadowed by its Far 6 brother, but it is a scarce coin in its own right. A fantastic mint state strike, and a must for any collector. This coin exhibits satiny mint lustre in the recessed fields, creating a luminous backdrop of the struck images. The intricacies of King George Vs monarch portrait shine in this example, while the detailed venation of the reverse maple leaves showcase the elaborate design of this strike. An absolutely wonderful coin with only five examples graded finer by PCGS (5/11).
