Victoria Specimen 25 Cents 1872-H SP65 PCGS, Heaton mint, KM5. Outstanding, a significant Canadian rarity of unbeatable visual appeal. Fully mirrored fields catch the eye through their reflectivity, closer inspection revealing parallel die-polish lines running their length and providing a measure of texture. Absolutely devoid of toning, part of the appeal this piece commands is in its icy white appearance, as it would have looked when fresh from the mint. Missing from many major collections of the Canadian numismatic series, and highly desirable thus.
