1897 South Africa Silver 2 1/2 Shillings KM.7 - NGC MS 61 - Toned Uncirculated Fr. 1256 snake in beak Description ReverseThe last auctions I can find for MS specimens of this coin are a PCGS MS 64 @ $920 in 2009 and an NGC MS 62 @ $287. 50 in 2008. This is not an easy coin to come by and this is a particularly attractive and strictly natural specimen.
