Description

Victoria 25 Cents 1880-H Wide 0, KM5, AU55 PCGS. There are three significant varieties of 1880-H 25 Cents: Wide 0, Narrow 0, and Narrow 0 over Wide 0. The last is rare, but not as popular as the other two. The Wide 0, of which PCGS has encapsulated only 23 examples in all grades, is very scarce, and nearly impossible to find in Mint State. PCGS has certified only three Uncirculated pieces, including a tantalizing MS68 example (7/09).

Light reddish-purple and hazel patina accents the margins, while the surfaces are otherwise pale gray. Victoria's hair shows typical minor weakness. Pleasing field luster is unaffected by scattered, grade-defining abrasions. A remarkable example of the highly desirable and seldom-seen variety. Ex: Canadiana Collection.
