Lot 32684 > Willem III 25 Cents 1850 MS63 NGC, KM81. A superb Mint State example of this exceedingly rare type. By far the finest of the date we have seen, and indeed of which we are able to find record, this being the sole example graded in Mint State by NGC, with no comparable examples at PCGS. Blast-white surfaces shine with a uniform luster, the appearance of which strangely seems to mimic that of aluminum. An interesting piece and certainly worthy of examination.
