Description

Republic 2-1/2 Shillings 1893 MS62 NGC, Pretoria mint, KM7, Hern-Z31. Sharply struck, with gray and russet patina over full underlying mint luster. Minor contact marks are noted, but none that detract from the pleasing overall appearance. A search of auction records from the past decade confirms that this is a type that hardly ever comes to the market, and almost never in Mint State. Indeed, we have sold only a small handful of this date in the history of Heritage. This is one of the finer examples we have offered, surpassed only by an MS63 piece that we auctioned in 2015 for a hammer price of $16,000. Very rare in this condition.
