ITALY. 5 Lire, 1879-R. Rome Mint. Umberto I. NGC MS-63. KM-20; Mont-33; Gig-24. A highly attractive representative of the type exhibiting a bold strike, satiny surfaces, frosty devices and nice cartwheel luster all complemented with lovely mottled patina. A few trivial abrasions from long ago are noticed in the fields consistent for the grade. A fully original looking example that clearly sat for a prolonged period of time undisturbed destine for a fine cabinet.
