Victoria "Large Date" 5 Cents 1858 MS65 Prooflike PCGS, London mint, KM2. Large date, RP3 variety. Simply astounding for the type, not merely due to the gem preservation seen but also in large part as a consequence of the cameo contrast created between the highly frosted bust of Victoria against fields that shimmer with prooflike reflectivity. Each device is rendered with full clarity, creating a strong visual juxtaposition against a clear and nearly pristine background. High-quality examples of this type and date are certainly scarce, but an offering with such aesthetic appeal is on a different level entirely.
