Description
Victoria 50 Cents 1872-H, KM6, Specimen 64 PCGS. The Province of Canada (1841-1867) issued no half dollars, so the first coins of this denomination were struck only in 1870, by the newly formed Dominion of Canada. An unknown number of Specimen 1872-H halves were minted, but based on their rarity today we know that it must have been a very small emission. PCGS has certified only three pieces in all grades (7/09).This piece has an attractive ring of yellow-orange toning around the periphery, with a mix of gold, blue, red, and violet in the centers. The fields exhibit eye-catching reflectivity, which complements the powerfully struck design elements. Careful examination under a glass reveals just a couple of trivial contact marks. An outstanding Specimen issue.
