Canada: Victoria 5 Cents 1872-H,...

Description

Victoria 5 Cents 1872-H, KM2, MS66 PCGS. An incredible condition rarity, this Premium Gem 1872-H is one of just two coins that PCGS has graded MS66. Both sides have frosty luster beneath mottled gold, russet, and steel toning, with exceptional design definition. Although unidentified as such, this is the Belzberg coin, lot 15175 in our January 2003 sale. At the time, we commented that this is one of the finest Victorian 5 Cent coins we have seen in Specimen or Mint State format. Recertified since that time, it is likely that this single coin accounts for both grading events on the PCGS Population Report. The only other examples of this issue that we have handled are a MS62 from the Dominion Collection and a Specimen 63 coin that was also in the Belzberg Collection. This stunning 5 Cent piece is a coin that will appeal to the connoisseur who appreciates pristine, original examples of the coiner's art.
