Description
Remarkable MS66 1893 25 Cents--Single Finest at PCGS
Victoria 25 Cents 1893, KM5, MS66 PCGS. The 1893 is tied (with the 1887) for the second-lowest mintage among Victoria 25 Cents, and it commands a healthy sum in all grades. Despite its elusive nature, it does have minor availability in lesser Mint State grades, making it somewhat accessible. In Choice Mint State or finer, however, the 1893 25 Cents is flat-out rare. This Premium Gem stands alone atop the PCGS Population Report (7/09). Both sides are beautifully smooth, with frosty luster beneath silver-gray toning that shows glimpses of green, blue, peach, and heather. Strongly struck and memorably appealing.From the Canadiana Collection
