There are several coins in this auction that are worthy highlights in terms of technical grade, scarcity, and eye appeal; after careful deliberation, we consider the main highlight piece to be this coin, a 1973 Canada 25¢ ICCS MS-66 Large Bust.
Those familiar with the 1973 Large Bust quarter know that a limited number managed to escape the Mint after being struck with the obverse of the 1972 25¢; these quarters featured a larger portrait of Queen Elizabeth II with beads closer to the rim compared to the revised Small Bust variety. This variety can be readily obtained in higher grades in both specimen (SP) and proof-like (PL) as those strikes were issued as part of non-circulating sets. Business strikes of this variety are far scarcer in better grades; they are often regarded as scarce in mint state and are very scarce in MS-63 or higher. Examples graded MS-65 are quite rare, with the 2015 ICCS Population Report showing none graded above MS-65 at that time. This example, graded MS-66, is a prized rarity for quarter collectors; we believe that this is the first auction appearance of a 1973 Large Bust in this condition, a fully lustrous piece with an exceptional strike and virtually free of contact. We anticipate strong bidding and look forward to watching it set what will likely be a new auction record.

Terms & Conditions
1. General
By participating in this auction, all bidders agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. This auction, Inaugural Auction – Fall 2025, is conducted by St. George Auctions Incorporated (“the Auctioneer”) and is open to the public. All sales are final and legally binding.
2. Currency & Taxes
All prices in the issued auction catalogue, as well as all prices, bids, and invoices pertaining to this auction, are in Canadian dollars (CAD). Canadian sales tax (GST/HST) is applicable for all Canadian orders and will be added to all Canadian invoices. Canadian sales tax will not be applied to lots that are Tax Exempt. While Canadian sales tax is not applicable for orders shipped to the United States or any other international addresses outside of Canada, buyers are responsible for any import charges (including, but not limited to, customs, duties, tariffs, taxes, and/or brokerage fees) in their jurisdiction.
3. Buyer’s Premium
A 10% Buyer’s Premium will be added to the hammer price of each lot. If invoice payment is made by debit card, credit card, or PayPal, the Buyer’s Premium increases to 13% to cover processing fees.
4. Estimates & Descriptions
While a great deal of effort has gone into making sure that the auction catalogue and auction are both as error-free as possible, the Auctioneer cannot be held responsible for typographical errors including incorrectly priced items. All starting bids and estimates are provided as guides only and do not guarantee actual selling prices. Third-party grading (e.g., ICCS, PCGS, CCCS, NGC) is referenced where applicable. Concerns relating to grading, certification, and authenticity are to be directed to the relevant third-party certification company, not the Auctioneer.
5. Bidding
Bids may be placed online (through iCollector.com), by email, or in person (where applicable). Should you require assistance with bidding and wish to bid by phone, please contact us prior to the auction. The Auctioneer reserves the right to: reject any bid not made in good faith (e.g., accidental bids, shill bids); resolve any disputes or tie bids at their sole discretion; and withdraw any lot at any time before the sale. Should two or more identical bids be received for any given lot, the earliest bid will take higher priority.
6. Payment Terms
All invoices must be paid within 14 calendar days of the auction close. Payment can be made by e-transfer, cheque, money order, bank draft, debit card, credit card, PayPal, or by wire transfer (wire transfers are subject to a surcharge of $15.00). Late payments may incur interest charges of 2% per month, and title to items remains with the Auctioneer until payment is received in full. At our discretion, we may require that an order be paid by bank draft or wire transfer to protect against fraud (for example, if you are a first-time buyer placing an order over $2,000).
