Ponterio sale 177, lot 34467

This specimen is a common date of a type struck in London and Birmingham for the colony of Newfoundland 1865, 1872-76, 1880, 1885, 1888-90, 1894-96. Canada debased her silver dimes from .925 to .800 in 1920 but Newfoundland did not follow suit until 1945. Newfoundland was admitted into the Dominion of Canada in 1949 and her separate coinage ceased. As a class, Newfoundland coinage is scarcer than equivalent Canadian coinage but collector demand for it is lower so it is often cheaper. This specimen was lot 34467 in Ponterio sale 177 (Chicago, August 2013), where it sold for $558. The catalog description^[1] noted, "CANADA. Newfoundland. Cent, 1896. NGC MS-64 RB."

Recorded mintage: 200,000.

Specification: 5.67 g, bronze, 25.3 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 1.
