Carol I 5 Lei 1882-B MS63 PCGS, Bucharest mint, KM17.1, Schäffer/Stambuliu-27. Lavishly preserved and dripping with satiny quality to the sepia-infused surfaces, examples of this date find themselves exceedingly scarce at any preservation, let alone decidedly Choice. Every element on the reverse coat-of-arms appears unscathed, helping to lift this issue to its status as the only Mint State piece certified by PCGS, remaining tied for the finest with two others at NGC. With this in mind, we expect only the quality-conscious collector to seriously consider the trophy at hand. From the Carpathian Collection of Romanian Coins HID09801242017 © 2024 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
