Description

1913 5C Type One MS68 PCGS. As one would expect for the grade, the surfaces on this piece are nearly perfect. We also do not see any trace of carbon spotting. Each side has a pronounced matte-like texture, as always on this issue, and the striking details are fully brought up in all areas. This example shows pale violet, powder blue, and light gold toning over vibrant luster, which combines with the finely granular surfaces to grant each side a shimmering quality. As one of just 12 PCGS-certified MS68 examples with none finer (3/09), this piece is equally suitable for the high-end type collector and the Registry enthusiast.
