Victoria Proof Farthing 1860 PR65 Brown NGC, Royal mint, KM747.2, S-3958, P-1855. A high rarity proof striking of this "Bun Head" Victoria type with notable glossiness in the fields and a pinpoint strike that intricately details the entire raised design. While graded as a "Brown" coin, the actual surfaces are comprised of primarily green, blue and violet iridescent tone that is particularly flashy on the reverse. One of only a couple known proofs of the date and as such, a coin that should attract special interest from the collector of Victoria-era coppers.
Estimate: 1500-2000 USD
