Here are some lots that caught my eye in the May 23 Extravaganza sale from The Canadian Numismatic Company.
-Editor
1921 50¢ PCGS Superb Gem Mint State-66. The King of Canadian coins. Ex Parrino & Ex Norweb example. Tied with only 1 other example for Finest known! An Absolute supreme example with mild pink and purple like tones over extensive and strong lustre. PCGS has certified only 2 examples of this extremely rare piece in Mint State-66, the population report shows 3 but only 2 pieces remain in PCGS MS-66 holders. A highly attractive and beautiful example to add to the best of collections! The auctioneer believes that it is extremely unlikely that any similar or better example will ever be found this nice or offered for sale, making this an unique opportunity to acquire this amazing Canadian classic rarity. Basically, this could possibly be your unique chance to purchase this elusive treasure. Worth a premium bid. This coin presents an important opportunity for Registry Set collectors. From the Tangen Collection.

Trade Tokens; Pokemouche N.B., In Goods Store Cards 1 Cent issue. Considered to be quite rare for issue. The fact that these are Tokens printed on a light paper/card type material made them increasingly fragile to the elements and many were destroyed. Surviving pieces are impossible to number however, the presence in any sales or Auctions in the last 10-15 yrs is next to none.
