British Colony. Victoria Proof 5 Cents 1889 PR63 PCGS, KM5, cf. Prid-134 (unlisted in Proof). Soundly struck with an impressive level of clarity and enhanced by icy reflectivity as is commonly associated with these Victorian-era Proofs. Fully choice and bound by the presence of hairlines intermingling with ample die polish. The reverse faces up especially fine, displaying a covetable array of lilac and peach toning that grips the devices. All-in-all, with only two specimens certified, we anticipate elevated demand for such a scarce issue.
