This date has a LISTED MINTAGE of ONLY 1,200,000, BUT, the TRUTH IS DIFFERENT. At the end of 1888, the Royal Mint still had almost new dies left over from the production of the 1888 5 Cents. Rather than waste them, a decision was made to continue to mint 5 cents in 1889, with the 1888 dies, until they wore out. The dies did not wear out until August of 1889. As a result, the REAL MINTAGE for 1889 was ONLY about 300,000! That is why this date is so SCARCE, despite a listed mintage of 1,200,000. The British Colonial office did not deem this important for only a colony. This coin has GREAT DETAIL REMAINING, with only light even wear, and NO PROBLEMS. Look at the pictures, and judge for yourself. How many of these coins still survive today in ANY CONDITION, ESPECIALLY THIS NICE??? This date TRENDS FOR A LOT MORE THAN MY LOW STARTING PRICE, in Canadian Coin News.
