10th of the year, but I'm pretty sure this is the last silver Corbett I will get this year. Probably ever (unless somebody wants to whip one out and send my way!). I can't account for more than 5 non-proofs at most. I hope there are more out there to enjoy.
Thank you to my friend for letting this one go to my little collection. In my personal opinion with both in hand, this 5MC is better than the 6. They have very similar edges and corners, the MC is only slightly worse centering, but it lacks the staining on the back of the 6 and the quality of the coloring in the image is better. All of the Corbetts I have seen an image of are in very nice condition (the top-down centering is usually bad, it is a top of the sheet card), in contrast to the Donovan's. Unusual attribute of this particular card.
