Description

Victoria 5 Cents 1881-H, KM2, MS66 PCGS. Here is an amazing representative of the date, considered common from a mintage of 1.5 million coins. Like the 1880-H in this sale, this piece is the finest available. PCGS has certified two submissions in MS66, with none finer (7/09). In fact, the next finest certified is only MS64. The Norweb Collection had two pieces, MS62 and AU58, the Dominion Collection had a MS63, and the Belzberg Collection had a Specimen 64 and a MS64. No Mint State pieces even close to this grade have appeared in our past auctions. This is an amazing opportunity to acquire the finest available quality piece. This Premium Gem has frosty luster with exceptional design definition. Both sides offer lovely medium gray toning. The obverse adds splashes of gold, lilac, and steel, with similar toning and a light ivory area on the reverse.
