Netherlands. Wilhelmina. 2 1/2 Cent 1942 zink UITERST ZELDZAAM in PCGS slab MS62

One of the kingdom's rarest coins, in a nice plastic case from PCGS, thus with authenticity guarantee from PCGS. These zinc WWII coins that were minted during our occupation with a mintage of 200,000 pieces have almost all been melted, with this one either remaining from the smelting furnace (or perhaps fallen beside it).
Quality-wise, this is one of the four best-graded specimens at PCGS. Unfortunately, the price is not within everyone's reach and this will be the most expensive piece we auction this week in our 6th Single Seller Auction.
