Description
Victoria 5 Cents 1889, KM2, MS66 PCGS. The 1889 was the last year of the 22 Leaves Narrow Rim reverse before the change back to the 21 Leaves Narrow Rim reverse which resumed on the 1890 issue. The most difficult issue of the series, except for the 1885 Small 5/Large 5, and one that is increasingly rare in the higher grade levels. This charming Premium Gem is tied with one other piece for finest certified at PCGS (7/09). The essentially pristine surfaces offer hues of pinkish-gray, blue, and gold, with excellent eye appeal and a good strike overall. Minor strike weakness appears on the right-side reverse leaves.From the Canadiana Collection
