Owner Comments:
PCGS SP Genuine - Cleaning AU Details, KM Pn9, Dupriez 47, Copper-Nickel or nickel pattern from the Chirico Collection. Very Rare. The only example of this date I have seen. Previously NNC MS60, who can never seem to get their grading right. (I feel like it's on purpose since they sell them too).
Of course PCGS couldn't be bothered with putting the Chirico Pedigree on the slab either. But they did manage to grade it correctly enough. This coin was in one of the large lots at the end of the auction at the Chirico sale, which I personally attended and where I bought some great Congo rarities.
