Description
Victoria 5 Cents 1890H, KM2, MS66 PCGS. In 1890, the earlier reverse type with only 21 leaves in the wreath reappeared after a nine-year intermission. From 1882 through 1889, the wreath had 22 leaves. On the present coin, the obverse has a broadly recut C in VICTORIA. Four of the five I's in the legend are defective: the first and second missing the upper right serif, the third missing the upper left serif, the fourth perfect, and the fifth with a strengthened upper left serif. This impeccable example has a bold strike with frosty silver luster and brilliant surfaces. Both sides have peripheral iridescence that is slightly heavier on the reverse. The surfaces are pristine and virtually mark-free. This example is one of two submissions that PCGS has certified as MS66, with none finer (7/09). The other MS66 appeared in our sale of the Belzberg Collection.From the Canadiana Collection
