Newfoundland. Victoria gold 2 Dollars 1888 MS64 NGC, London mint, KM5, Charlton NF-D3; Dots Left and Right of Newfoundland. A superb specimen of the type, fully lustrous with satiny fields veiled with a light silver tone. It attests to the desirability of this particular example that the values jump tremendously when entering choice levels of certification and higher. Notably, two pieces, both grading MS64, sold for $3,290 and $4,700 in Sale 3054 (lots 30528 and 30529, respectively), demonstrating that this near-gem is deserving of similar attention and an equally competitive bid.
