STRAITS SETTLEMENTS. 5 Cents, 1920. NGC MS-65.
KM-31; Tan-SSC21. Silver. VERY RARE. Transitional year for the denomination. The silver 5 Cent coinage was replaced with a copper-nickel issue (KM-36) with nearly all of the earlier mintage presumably melted down. Breathtaking luster with just a light veneer of attractive tone. A great strike with a very bold portrait and great eye appeal. The piece offered here, especially in this incredible state of preservation, is sure to draw intense interest. Only one point shy of the finest graded at NGC.
Estimate: $5000.00- $8000.00
