Switzerland
Confederation Specimen 5 Francs 1928-B SP64 PCGS, Bern mint, KM38, Dav-394, HMZ-21199g, Divo-380. The final year and the undisputed key to this ephemeral series, featuring the muscular portrait of a herdsman and the emblematic cross of Switzerland. This highly-popular, large silver issue displays silky, silvery-gray surfaces with darker color that drips from the devices, as well as a surprising amount of honeydew, golden-yellow, and electric-blue toning that glows upon rotation. The flashy fields are remarkably clear of any noteworthy marks and closer examination reveals that this selection is incredibly well-preserved, choice for the grade even, perhaps with the dark streak of patination on the herdsman's nose accounting for the near-Gem classification. At present time, the Standard Catalog of World Coins does not report any pricing figures for a Specimen designation; however, the circulation issue is listed for $22,000 in MS63. With that in mind, this current offering should absolutely excite the collector of rare Swiss Confederation material who has long been searching to add such a jewel to his repertoire.From the Redwood Collection of Swiss Coins
Estimate: 15000-20000 USD
