Description

Victoria 5 Cents 1898, KM2, MS65 PCGS. With a mintage of just over 580,000 coins, the 1898 is a slightly scarcer date, and like so many others, it is a condition rarity in Gem grades. PCGS has certified three pieces in MS65 and just one finer MS66 coin (7/09). Light gold toning fails to subdue the brilliant underlying luster. The obverse has deeper gold, blue, and lilac toning near the border. A few scattered small ticks on the reverse require magnification to view. This piece is tied with the Belzberg piece, and is finer than either the Dominion or Norweb coins.
