Prince Edward Island Holey Dollar. The Wickham Specimen that comes from a group of 5 similar pieces identified by Faulkner. He has determined that all five are contemporary merchant counterfeits. They have 10 rays and are on a host cast Spanish American 8 reales coin. This particular piece was first photographed around 1920 and has a spectacular pedigree. After Wickham's ownership, it passed through several auctions eventually ending up with J.D. Ferguson and John McKay-Clements. In the later sale in 1976, it was purchased by Dr. Ken Beers and subsequently by Ralph Dickieson. Faulkner lists this specimen in Group E as E.1. 1803 Charles IV Mexico FT. A Canadian rarity for which we anticipate great demand. Part of the Dickieson Collection.
