Victoria "Wide 9" Cent 1859/8 MS64 Red and Brown PCGS, London mint, KM1. Wide 9 variety. Coin rotation. Scarce in both die axis and technical quality, this vibrant near-Gem remains impeccably crisp in its details while the recesses give off an impressive glow of coppery luster. Noted as a difficult, early Cent issue to acquire at the Mint State level, and one that originated from the reworked 1858 dies, this offering surpasses the viewer's expectations at every turn. A review of recent auction records comes up short in producing any comparable results of this variety, making our selection all the more intriguing to collectors of Canadian rarities.
