British Colony - George III bronzed Proof Penny 1793 PR63 Brown NGC, London mint, KM5a. Prid-5a. A striking mahogany-brown Proof, this specimen shimmers with reflectivity. Despite an obverse that was struck with clashed dies and a reverse that exhibits light doubling, the sharp design elements of this example are readily apparent. A well-collected issue with a purported mintage of just 50 pieces, this coin features a three-masted ship and the engraver's initials "F. Droz" faintly notated on the shoulder truncation. An interesting coin that is popular among collectors, especially in this choice Proof designation.
Estimate: 1250-1750 USD
