British Outpost - George III Proof Ackey 1818 PR63 Cameo NGC, Heaton mint, KM9, Dav-36. Highly important as a 19th century African Crown, and especially desirable is this elusive proof format, with the present example being among the most attractive examples we have encountered. Lightly toned, the surfaces maintain full originality, with beaming reflectivity and scattered hints of non-impeding tone on both sides. Perhaps most impressive however, is the evident frost over the highpoints, an attribute that is almost-always desired by collectors, but is very rarely delivered on this issue. As the only example to receive the "Cameo" designation at NGC, its allure is without question only further elevated.From the Nob Hill Collection
Estimate: 6000-8000 USD
