1913 CANADA
Bank of Canada Hoard Gold Coins
Due to the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the production of gold coins was discontinued for currency. However, the government decided to hold on to its gold reserves and coins. This meant that many of these coins never reached circulation and were left in the Bank of Canada's vaults.
In 2012 the Bank of Canada and the Royal Canadian Mint released 30,000 of the $10 and $5 coins which sold out instantly. These 1913 & 1914 10 Dollar coins were part of the coins discovered.
A remaining 200,000 coins were melted down.
MS64 is about the highest grade recorded for these coins.
Many are MS61 to MS63.
