<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 2046659, member: 24091&quot;][ATTACH=full]374932[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]374933[/ATTACH] The Canadian gold coins from that era are great collectibles.&nbsp; I had the entire 6-coin set at one time, and sold-off all of them except the nicest coin, which just happened to be the 1912 Canadian $10 in MS62.&nbsp; This was several years before the hoard arrived on the scene.</p><p><br /></p><p>Turns-out the one coin I kept, is the only one that wasn&#039;t well represented in the hoard.&nbsp; Used to be the 1914 Canadian $5 was far and away the most scarce of the 6 coins in this two denomination set.&nbsp; I&#039;m not so sure of that anymore.&nbsp; Finding nice examples of the 1912 $10 has become much more difficult, since all the others became much more available.&nbsp; I would go so far as to say it has replaced the 1914 $5 as the key in the series in the lower mint-state grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>On a side note, only the 1912 dated coins were struck in gold from the Klondike deposit, with all the 1913 and 1914 coins containing gold mined in Ontario.</p><p><br /></p><p>The very most common coin in the set would have to be the 1913 $5 which is available up to MS63 at a modest premium above melt.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
