SOUTH AFRICA. Orange Free State. Pattern Penny, 1888. NGC MS-64 RB.
Bruce-Pn7 (Prev. Pn-13); Hern-08. Struck in bronze. The finest graded mint state RB example at NGC with none seen in RD so far. Hern speculates that all of the patterns of this design were struck in Berlin, with the quality of strike on this piece tending to confirm that possibility. Nearly full gem with no discernable marks or abrasions, and breathtaking detail in the central shield design of the obverse. NGC MS-64 RB.
Estimate: $1000.00- $1500.00
