1929 Canada 5 Cents — PCGS MS 63 | Far S Variety | Weak S / Bead | King George V | Nickel

A collectible mint state example of the 1929 Canada Five Cents — Far S variety — certified and graded Mint State 63 by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), cert 34678.63/43870612. The Far S variety is distinguished by the position of the letter “S” in CENTS relative to the adjacent maple leaf on the reverse, a die variety actively collected by specialists in George V Canadian coinage. A handwritten collector note inside the slab reads “Weak S / Bead”, indicating a weakly struck S and bead detail on this specific example — a useful attribution note for variety collectors.

The obverse features the left-facing portrait of King George V by Sir E.B. MacKennal, surrounded by the legend GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: REX ET IND: IMP:. The reverse displays the denomination FIVE 5 CENTS and CANADA / 1929 flanked by maple leaves. Struck in nickel at the Royal Canadian Mint, Ottawa.
