Victoria Specimen "Large Date" 5 Cents 1875-H SP65 PCGS, Heaton mint, KM2. Large date variety. In the Victoria 5 Cent series the 1875-H is comparable to what 1921 is for the George V series, ranking as the scarcest and highest valued date of the type. This can be seen in the generally high prices achieved for even lower-grade circulated examples. On the whole this issue only rarely crosses into Mint State territory, rendering a true gem example such as this one of both particular interest and also of doubtless rarity. The last comparable Specimen we sold happens to be another SP65, the Belzberg piece which sold all in 2003, Auction 312, Lot 15181, for $10,925. The example offered here displays shimmering mirrorlike fields with surfaces sheathed in luxurious silver patina, the design struck to pinpoint accuracy. A rare opportunity to procure a selection of such quality, one that may not occur again for quite some time.
