STRAITS SETTLEMENTS. 5 Cents, 1920. NGC MS-64.
KM-31; Tan-SSC21. Silver. VERY RARE. Transitional year for the denomination, the silver 5 Cent coinage was replaced with a copper-nickel issue (KM-36) with nearly all of the earlier mintage presumably melted down. Breathtaking luster with virtually no tone, a super strike, and fantastically sharp portrait. A great rarity and missing from most advanced collections of Straits Settlement coinage. The piece offered here, especially in this incredible state of preservation, is sure to draw intense interest, as it may be years before another example appears at auction in anything close to this condition. NGC MS-64.
Estimate: $7000.00- $10000.00
