British Outpost - George III bronzed-copper Proof Pattern Ackey 1796 PR64+ Brown NGC, Soho mint, KM-Pn7, Vice-2B. An important type for collectors of colonial Africa, and among the most visually capturing examples we have encountered, with a smooth base of bronzed coloration over both sides and sensational multicolored oil-slick patina that hugs the design and enlivens the surfaces when rotated beneath a light. A couple tick here and there are noted as the reason why this coin didn't make the Gem grade, but they are bothersome in the least, and only mentioned for accuracy's sake. Certainly, in every other facet, this piece qualifies as an exceptional Gem!
Estimate: 2500-3000 USD
