This specimen was lot 3426 in Goldberg sale 78 (Los Angeles, January 2014), where it sold for $446.50. The catalog description[1] noted, "Italy. 25 Centesimi, 1902-R. Vittorio Emanuele III. Eagle. Reverse: Value. NGC graded MS-63." This denomination was introduced in 1902 but seems to have been a complete flop as it was suspended in 1903. Its rarity today is likely explained by melting to produce the twenty centesimi of 1908-35 (KM 44), of the same size and composition.
