This specimen was lot 75224 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Costa Mesa, CA, September 2024), where it sold for $145. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Italy|ITALY]]. 50 Centesimi, 1866-M BN. Milan Mint. Vittorio Emanuele II. PCGS MS-62. Seldom encountered in Mint State, this near-Choice example has soft satin like surfaces and some iridescence toning when cradled." This type was struck in Milan 1863, 1866 and 1867. Despite the large mintage, this is the scarcest of the three dates. More were issued from Turin and Naples but this is the most common mint. This denomination was not issued again until 1889, during the reign of Umberto I, suggesting a surplus in bank vaults.<br />
