Victoria "Curved 5" 25 Cents 1885 MS64 ICCS, London mint, KM5. A rare example of the "Curved 5" variety, so named for the last digit of the date. This example is of exceptionally high quality and represents a clear prestige piece for any high-end Canadian collection. For comparison, of 20 examples seen by NGC to date, the single-finest certified only ranks an XF45. At PCGS, of 56 examples, three have managed to reach this lofty MS64 designation, with apparently none having been added to this figure in the last decade, and the vast majority of the remainder are similarly circulated. Lightly speckled with charcoal, lilac, and cobalt patina, with the reverse framed in gleaming emerald iridescence, this standout near-gem should inspire fierce bidding.
