VENEZUELA. 5 Reales, 1858-A. Paris Mint. NGC MS-65.
KM-Y-11. One-year type. The single finest certified on either the NGC or PCGS population reports. An incredible and vividly toned Gem example of a very hard-to-find type. Flashy luster lights up the deep purple-blue toing and the devices are boldly struck up. With no marks or imperfections worth noting, this coin's surfaces are only outdone by its pedigrees, coming from such prestigious numismatic cabinets as Norweb and Brand. This 5 Reales is the finest NGC has certified, so expect strong bidding when this scarce gem crosses the block. To view all items from the Pat Johnson Collection, click here.
