Owner Comments:

An amazing example of a semi-keydate 1899 5 cent, with only 78000 of these minted, it has a diameter of 16mm and has a thickness of 1mm, it also has a reeded edge and weighing about 1.35 grams and being made out of 0.800 silver, lastly it was engraved by Leonard Charles Wyon. this coin is a very rare piece, this piece is in amazing condition, with a mintstate grade an a slight yellowish toning on the reverse to it which partners very well with the exquisite cartwheel toning, with only one tiny semi circle scratch on the obverse, it truly is a beautiful and rare piece. I am extremely proud and happy to own this spectacular coin, thank you!
