Republic 2 Shillings 1897 MS64 NGC, Pretoria mint, KM6. A typically quite common coin in lower grades that quickly escalates to a great rarity in this peak grade--the highest awarded by either NGC or PCGS to-date--commanding a considerable premium. The piece at hand moreover showcases a lovely mottled gold and russet tone, itself intensely accentuated by whirls of cartwheel luster.
