1916c Gold Sovereign PCGS MS64PQ. Considered The RAREST Canadian coin! This lovely example is well struck with lots of luster. The key Sovereign issue. The mintages for the sovereigns produced at the Ottawa Mint were modest. The total of all Ottawa Mint sovereigns barely equalled the yearly mintage compared to the London, England branch of the Royal Mint and the Australian branches of the Royal Mint. The Ottawa Mint’s highest output for sovereigns was in 1911 when it produced 256,946. The rarest Ottawa Mint sovereign is the 1916. Only a handful of pieces are known to exist today. Excessively rare and desirable. Simply a splendid example, one of unforgettable quality and a highlight of this sale. The marketplace must have agreed with our assessment as the coin realized over $45,000 in one of our previous sale.
