HONG KONG. 5 Cents, 1874-H. Heaton Mint. Victoria. PCGS MS-68.
KM-5; Prid-119. Intoxicating levels of beauty grace this elegant minor--about as close as perfection as one can hope with pre-20th century coining techniques. Glistening and full of abundant luster, this piece also reveals a tremendous level of colorful iridescent toning on each side. Tied with just two others for the top spot for the date in the PCGS census, and tied with just six others for the denomination during the entirety of the reign of Victoria. A great opportunity for the specialist in Hong Kong issues or Victorian colonial Gems in general.
Estimate: $4000 - $8000
