Victoria 50 Cents 1870-LCW MS62 NGC, London mint, KM6. Variety with L.C.W. at truncation. Designed by Leonard C. Wyon, this beautiful example, which also happens to be the inaugural date from this series, features all-over satiny surfaces with slightly darker tone that clings to the design elements, giving the portrait of Victoria and the reverse wreath motif a three-dimensional effect. An altogether prominent example of the type, rare in increasing levels of Mint State, and highly-intriguing as such.
Estimate: 4000-5000 USD
