1965 Canada 1 Dollar - Small Pearls & 5 Pointed
80% Silver — PL-67 Quality (Proof-Like)
Description of the room
The 1965 dollar is famous for its many die combinations. The version combining the Small Pearls on the obverse and the Pointed 5 on the reverse is the most sought-after by collectors. In PL-67 grade, it represents the pinnacle of preservation for a coin of this era, displaying a level of technical perfection rarely equaled.
The Small Pearl Variety (Obverse) On the obverse, the pearls bordering the portrait of Queen Elizabeth II are small and evenly spaced. They are positioned slightly further from the rim than on the large pearl versions, giving the portrait a more airy and refined appearance.
The Pointed 5 (Reverse) In the date "1965", the tail of the number "5" ends in a sharp, pointed end. This feature, combined with the design of Emanuel Hahn's "Voyageur", confirms the use of a specific reverse die which, together with the small pearls, creates this superior collector's variety.
Quality and Grade PL-67 The PL-67 designation indicates a "Superb Gem" piece. The reflective fields are crystal clear, without the scratches or handling marks often found on sets from that year. The luster is vivid and uniform, highlighting every detail of the canoe, waves, and royal portrait with surgical precision.
