COINS, WEST INDIES, JAMAICA Victoria (1837-1901), Cupro-nickel Specimen Penny, 1882 (KM 17). In PCGS holder graded SP65.
There is a question of where these coins were struck, as there is with the Mauritius 1877 coinage, but the colour is too similar to the others that an opinion cannot yet be formed. My records show that only two of these were in the Heaton Archives. Not in the Diana sale, but Dick Ford had an example that sold for £540, and Remick's brought £950.
Estimate: £800-1200
