CUBA. 5 Centavos, 1916. Philadelphia Mint. PCGS MS-65 Gold Shield.
KM-11.1. Elite for the issue, this Gem survivor displays sharp designs and fields that are lightly toned and shimmering with luster. One of just four coins to reach this finest-graded status at PCGS, making it an ultra-important coin for the collector of early Cuba focused on acquiring coins in top condition.
Obviously offered infrequently in this grade, we last sold a MS-65 of this date (also graded by PCGS) in our January 2019 auction for $3,600.
Estimate: $1000 - $2000
