South Africa (ZAR) 1898 Penny - NGC MS-61 BN
Offered is a crisp and pleasing 1898 South African Penny, KM#2. Although the highest mintage date, truly UNC pieces represent a small minority of the survivors, as most were pulled from circulation as souvenirs by British troops. This piece bears a wonderful, rich mahogany patina, and has been graded by NGC as MS61, likely owing to the minor weakness of strike on the reverse.
