Description
Victoria 25 Cents 1886/3, KM5, MS64 PCGS. The Charlton Catalogue says this "interesting and long unrecognized overdate ... seems unlikely in view of the fact that the 1885 date came in between and the 1883 coins were all produced at The Mint, Birmingham with the H mint mark; however, in an article it is proved conclusively that the overdate here illustrated is indeed 6/3." This piece is tied with two others in MS64 for the finest certified at PCGS (7/09). The "horn" or top left corner of the upper loop on the underdigit 3 is boldly visible, projecting leftward from the upper part of the overdigit 6, and portions of the 3's inner loop are visible as well. The original patina is primarily lilac-pink, merging into a few areas of deep russet-cinnamon near the rims.From the Canadiana Collection
