Dear Bidder,
Heritage is proud to be offering The Canadiana Collection, the finest
condition collection of Canadian coins ever assembled, at our 2010 New
York International Numismatic Convention event (an Official Auction of
the NYINC and taking place at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York City).
The Canadiana Collection contains the finest quality coins (from the early
issues of the Confederation through the mid-twentieth century) that we
have ever seen. In fact, it contains more ‘finest known” examples than
any other Canadian collection ever formed! That is speaking volumes,
as Heritage has sold several world famous collections of the coins of
our Northern neighbors recently (including Belzberg, Dominion, and
Wellington), as well as hundreds of individual rarities from the earlier
Norweb and Pittman collections. Over our four decades in the rare coin
business, we thought that we had seen it all in Canadian coinage – and
we never expected to sell any comprehensive collection of rarities in
finer condition than the stellar collections just mentioned.
As soon as we examined the exquisite rarities in the Canadiana
Collection, we instantly knew that these were the best of the best. When
collectors of Canadian coinage brag about pedigrees in the decades to
come, the Canadiana name will be at the head of the top tier. We never
expect to see another collection with as many finest known coins with
so many distinguished pedigrees. As you would expect with one of the
greatest collections ever assembled, every Canadian rarity is present (and
here we will point out that the consignor kept a few of his treasures, so
the auction is not complete). But here you will find all three 1936 “Dot”
coins in the finest grades, the finest known 1890-H half dollar, a 1921
half dollar in MS66, and a 1921 five cents in MS 67. Perhaps the most
impressive section is the astonishing offering of Victorian quarters and
halves. Thirty years of effort have produced a collection of exceptional
quality, of a level so consistent and so high as to almost be unbelievable.
Yet it is there to be seen and to be appreciated. Please join us in New
York and see if you don’t agree!
If you will be participating from home, we encourage you to use either
– or both – of our exclusive bidding platforms: the Interactive Internet™
and HERITAGE Live!™ You can also participate by telephone, mail, fax,
or agent. Good luck, and have a wonderful 2010.

20001 Victoria Cent 1859 Narrow 9, KM1, MS66 Red PCGS. Minute
doubling is evident on the 185, but the 9 is normal. The reverse

has a bold die crack inside the inner beaded circle, from 12 o’clock
down to 8 o’clock, through the left upright of the N in ONE,
and through the E in CENT. This incredible coin has brilliant
orange mint color with frosty luster. The surfaces are pristine
and nearly perfect. The Norweb Collection included several
1859 Cents, none better than MS65 Red and Brown. Similarly,
the finest Dominion Collection example graded MS64 Red and
Brown, and the finest Belzberg Collection coin graded MS64
Red. This incredible Premium Gem is the only MS66 that PCGS
has certified regardless of color designation (7/09). It is prob-
ably the finest known example of the date.
From the Canadiana Collection
Estimate: $2,500-$3,500 Starting Bid: $1,250

The Canadiana Collection
Singular MS66 red 1887 Victoria One Cent

20002 Victoria Cent 1887, KM7, MS66 Red PCGS. Out of 1.5 million
pieces struck, this is the sole highest-graded example certified by
PCGS (7/09); not only is it the lone survivor awarded the MS66 des-
ignation by that service, but it retains fully Red surfaces, actually
rich copper-gold and orange with peach overtones. Victoria’s hair
is finely wrought. Scattered small marks and tiny isolated areas of
deeper color are visible on either side. A leading Canadian dealer
had this to say about this piece, “It is the finest Victoria Cent, of any
date, that I have ever seen.”In sum, a rare opportunity to obtain a
fantastic representative—the finest the issue has to offer.
From the Canadiana Collection
Estimate: $20,000-$30,000 Starting Bid: $10,000
