Lot Title:	Canada - Complete collection of five-cent pieces, 1858 through 1976, in a Library of Coins album
Lot Number:	60
Description:	Somewhat astonishing in scope and level of difficulty, a compelling series of silver 5-cent, and nickel 5-cent coins creates comprehensive manifestation of both series within a single convenient Library of Coins album. Substantial upgrades abound, and some better examples with U.S. commercial grade ESTIMATES are offered here. Silver pieces include: 1858 lg/sm date (AU), 1874-H plain 4 (XF), 1875H sm dt (UNC), 1884 (VF), 1889 (AU, very close to UNC), 1894 (AU - UNC), and numerous other examples in the AU to UNC range. Nickel coins include UNC or borderline UNC examples in essentially every single case, with some highlights such as: 1925 (AU-55), 1926 near 6 (AU), 1926 far 6 (AU-55, looks UNC and a formidable rarity at this level), 1933 (XF+),1938 (UNC), and 1947 dot (MS-62, very difficult and famous key variety). An imposing collection, made all the more redoubtable by the awesome average grade per coin.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
