Victoria 5 Cents 1897 MS65 PCGS, London mint, KM2. Narrow (the supposed "Narrow/Wide") 8 variety. A lofty and covetable status for any of the Canadian minors from Victoria's reign, complete with high rims and razor-sharp precision. A variety that was absent from the Belzberg collection, Charlton notes that this subvariety is something of a misnomer, the odd shape to the date being the result of die deterioration rather than an overdate. For reference, an MS64 of the same "variety" achieved $7475 in our September 2006 Long Beach Auction 419, Lot 50145.
