HONG KONG. 5 Cents, 1868. Hong Kong Mint. Victoria. NGC MS-64.
KM-5; Mars-C8; Prid-115. Surpassed in the NGC census by just two other examples, this dazzling near-Gem radiates with blast white brilliance and shimmering luster. Merely for completeness, a number of large die cracks are observed around the legends on both sides and a minor flan flaw appears near 6 o'clock on the obverse edge.
Estimate: $700 - $1000
