Oscar II 12 Skilling 1873 MS67 PCGS, Kongsberg mint, KM339. An absolute Gem, currently tied for the finest certified from PCGS and with only one example graded higher by NGC, this incredible survivor of what is usually a heavily-circulated type is perhaps the truest example of a collector coin imaginable. With vivid eye-appeal emerging from the satiny, blemish-free surfaces on their own, this coin adds a celestial level of tone featuring apricot oranges, rosy magentas, cobalt blue, and coppery greens in an astonishing play of colors. Certainly singular for its stunning beauty alone, this specimen is sure to excite those seeking the absolute pinnacles of the Norwegian series.
