Victoria 25 Cents 1870 MS64 PCGS, London mint, KM5. The first date from this highly-popular series that features superb color across both sides, soaring rims that frame the design illustrations, and prooflike reflectivity that shimmers throughout the fields. The obverse portrait of the Queen features an attractive striated pattern of champagne tone, with darker color gathered towards the outer registers, and the reverse shows a sparkling silver center with autumnal color that haloes the raised leaf motif. A small, rather inconspicuous mark to the left of Victoria's bust is likely all that precludes the Gem designation. Even so, this visually spectacular piece absolutely satisfies the eye.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
