STRAITS SETTLEMENTS (contd.)
|
201
Victoria, 5 Cents, (KM.10), 1879H Mauritius Mule, NGC MS64. Although not identified as such on the NGC label, this coin has a mysterious Victoria effigy that differs from those usually found on early Straits 5 cents, as well as the modified portrait on later 5 cents. It has bemused Straits Settlements specialists ever since its discovery. The obverse die is actually from the Mauritius 1877H 10 cents which were also struck at the Heaton Mint. We sold the Eric Low example which was XF Details for US$600 in 2009. This near gem is far superior.

207
Victoria, 50 Cents, (KM.13), 1897H, NGC AU55. Some bagmarks, though a little rubbed on its highest points, it is still a lovely coin with lots of glossy original lustre especially in the area behind the Queen's neck with the ribbon. Probably an early strike. In our view, the grading service could have been a bit more generous with the grade, very scarce in this condition and easily one of the best pieces of this date that we have seen so far. Eric Low Collection.
