HONG KONG. 5 Cents, 1872/68-H. NGC MS-65.
KM-5; Mars-C8. KEY DATE. Of the 43 different dates and overdate varieties in Mars, this specific overdate commands the highest catalog value, tied with the non-overdate of the same year at $2,000. Recent auction results show other examples in MS-65 trading for even more than catalog. The specific coin offered here is phenomenal. Halogen white brightness, with not a trace of tone or color. Sharply struck, a nearly unimprovable example that should elicit keen competition as it crosses the auction block. NGC MS-65.
Estimate: $1500.00- $2000.00
