1888 Newfoundland $2 Gold NGC MS-63

This 1888 Newfoundland $2 gold piece represents a significant issue from the Colony of Newfoundland's brief but notable gold coinage series. Struck during the late Victorian era, this denomination was part of Newfoundland's attempt to establish a local gold currency alongside their silver issues. The $2 piece was minted for only a few years in the 1880s, making it an important piece of Canadian numismatic history.

The obverse features the left-facing crowned bust of Queen Victoria with the legend "VICTORIA D.G.REG. NEWFOUNDLAND" encircling the portrait. The reverse displays the denomination "2 DOLLARS" prominently in the center, surrounded by "ONE HUNDRED CENTS 1888" within a beaded border. The strike shows good detail definition with attractive golden surfaces typical of the issue.

Graded MS-63 by NGC, this example exhibits bright mint luster with well-preserved surfaces showing only minor contact marks consistent with the grade. The Newfoundland gold series remains highly sought after by collectors of British colonial and Canadian coinage due to their limited mintages and historical significance. The coin pictured is the exact coin you will receive.
