Victoria Proof 1/2 Penny 1889/8 PR65 Red and Brown NGC, Royal mint, KM755, Freeman-361A (R20). A truly unique example with brilliant surfaces that display circular patterns of luster in iridescent shades of turquoise, golden-peach, and vibrant magenta. The devices are also colorized and feature fully-bold detail throughout. With the ultimate rarity distinction given by Freeman, coupled with the fact that this is the only certified proof of this over-date, it likely follows that this specimen may very well be a one-of-a-kind. Superb in all respects and well-deserving of a premium bid.
Estimate: 2000-3000 USD
