A great collectible coin, Nickel. 4.54 grams 21.21mm, 1.7 mm thick. This is getting to be a very scarce coin and values will rise dramatically in the years to follow. George V coinage values have been rising steadily since the late 90's. Strong strikes bring more money. As far as collecting these goes there are several varieties of each year that are summarily listed below along with mintages. The scarcest is the 1925 with a mintage of around 230,000, The 1926 is also very scarce with a mintage less than a million. Full crowned full legend coins demand higher prices. Expect to pay between a couple dollars for a late 1920's five cent piece to as much as five hundred for a high grade rare 1925 or 1926. Obverse The portrait in left profile of George V is surrounded with the inscription "GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: REX ET IND:IMP" (George V, King and Emperor of India by the grace of God) Lettering: GEORGIVS V DEI GRA: REX ET IND:IMP: Reverse The facial value is surrounded with the inscription "CANADA" and two maple leaves. In 1926 there are two varieties; the 'near 6' and the 'far 6'. This refers to the location of the '6' in '1926' relative to the maple leaf. Near '6' is the more common of the two and can be identified by the fact that the '6' nearly touches the maple leaf. The Far '6' is much more scarce. Additionally, there are two main varieties of this coin that occurred during the years 1922, 1929, 1932, 1934 and 1936. These varieties refer to the position of the 'S' in 'CENTS' relative to the rim. Because this difference is so hard to distinguish, many of the dates are worth the same, regardless of the position of the 'S'.
