Newp. I have always wanted one of these.

I have always wanted one of these to go with my 1908 Canada specimen set. The sets only contained the bronze and silver (1 cent through 50 cents), but this is the other coin minted during the first year of the Ottawa Mint. 1908-C Ottawa Sovereign, mintage 636 pieces (all specimens), PCGS SP-65. De Saulles' obverse on this coin was really tough to image because of the specimen luster and its low relief. I have always loved Pistrucci's reverse design for the sovereign. Anyways, here is my initial try at images of this beautiful coin.
