Hong Kong British Colony. Victoria 20 Cents 1880-H MS65

Hong Kong
British Colony. Victoria 20 Cents 1880-H MS65 PCGS, British Royal mint (Heaton dies), KM7. Mintage: 25,000. Very rare as type, claiming the second-lowest mintage in the series behind the 1879 date, and even more difficult to procure at the level of preservation witnessed here. For context, the next highest grade our firm has offered was an AU53-graded representative, which sold in 2021 for nearly $3,000 all in. The offering at hand boasts incredible clarity layered with a lustrous blanket of opalescent tone. Just two pieces are ranked higher at PCGS, making this a prime opportunity for type collectors to acquire a Gem example.
