VENEZUELA. 5 Centimos, 1896. Berlin Mint. NGC MS-65.
KM-Y-27. Nearing pristine, no marks are visible to the naked eye and pale spotted tone adorns the surfaces. Undoubtedly one of the very finest examples of this issue known, with only one MS-66 appearing publicly to date; that piece, appearing in the famed Lissner Collection brought $2,500 hammer in 2014.
Estimate: $1000 - $2000
