Description
Amazing Gem Venezuelan 1900 5 Bolivares
Unheard of Quality for the Date
Republic 5 Bolivares 1900 MS65 NGC, Paris mint, KM-Y24.2.
Astounding quality for this heavily-circulated date that often
yields examples closer to the VF20 grade than it does even the AU50
grade. That said, Uncirculated specimens of any quality carry with
them great rarity; to date only 5 examples have achieved this level
at NGC and PCGS combined. What makes this piece truly special
however, is that of these 5 Uncirculated coins, the present piece
is the only example to have surpassed the MS62 grade - an absolute
anomaly in quality! The surfaces are vibrantly lustrous throughout
with impeccably struck-up design details. Flashy copper-golden tone
wisps about the surfaces and imparts uniquely engrossing
originality. A true Gem in every sense of the word, and one that in
all likelihood will never be surpassed in private hands.Metal: Silver
Diameter: 37.00mm
