British Honduras 1913 Cent - Really Top Flight Specimen

I got this piece at the Album auction in June and paid strong money. This is probably as nice a specimen of the 1913 British Honduras One Cent that you might find. I was able to upgrade an MS60 piece.

It's truly amazing any coins of this quality survive.

They were saved so lightly and mintages in this case were so tiny (25,000).

 

My previous specimen (which I still have) was from the infamous "Centsles" on ebay. He is and was roundly reviled in many quarters but I have gotten a few VERY nice coins from him. I will try to dig it up and show it here.
A few other BH coins were sold at that time with some of the prices (prob this one also) on the atrocious side. But I will stretch on the occasion for a nice coin....Thanks for the complements and the improved picture...
