VENEZUELA. 5 Bolivares, 1905. Paris Mint. NGC AU-55. KM-Y-24.2. Tied for third finest certified of the date with four other examples on either the NGC or PCGS population reports, only three finer (NGC AU 58[2] and NGC MS 62 [1]). One of the more difficult years in the series, this date is <strong>VERY</strong> <strong>SCARCE</strong><strong> </strong>in any grade, let alone in this condition. Still displaying some underlying luster, this example has an amber-gray toning that simply adds to the overall eye appeal.
