A stunning toned gem example of the 1952 Canada Silver Dollar — Normal Waterlines variety — certified and graded Mint State 65 by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC), cert 1811056-008, in an early NGC/ANA generation holder. The Normal Waterlines designation distinguishes this coin from the famous No Waterlines variety of the same date, where the horizontal lines in the water below the canoe were inadvertently omitted from the die. Both varieties are actively collected by specialists in George VI Canadian silver dollars. This example displays rich, original peripheral toning in warm golden and russet hues over fully lustrous surfaces — a visually spectacular coin at the gem grade level.
The obverse features the left-facing portrait of King George VI by T.H. Paget, surrounded by the legend GEORGIVS VI DEI GRATIA REX. The reverse displays the iconic Voyageur canoe design by Emanuel Hahn, with two figures paddling a canoe past a small island with a pine tree, inscribed CANADA / 1952 / DOLLAR. Struck in .800 fine silver at the Royal Canadian Mint, Ottawa.
