Republic 2-1/2 Shillings 1893 MS63 NGC, KM7. The clear key date of this series, even though it has a listed mintage of 135,000. A search of auction records from the past decade confirms that this is a type that hardly ever comes to the market, and almost never in Mint State. Indeed, we have sold only a small handful of this date in the history of Heritage, with the highest graded piece being just an AU53, sold in September 2014. Soft gray toning with underlying cartwheel luster gives this coin superb eye appeal, especially for those collectors who favor originality. We expect considerable interest in this piece from the South African specialist.
Estimate: 8000-10000 USD
