Victoria Proof Penny 1896 PR65 Brown NGC, Royal mint, KM790, S-3961 (unlisted as proof), F-143a (R19, just 2-5 known). An extremely important coin, and one of the most elusive of the Victorian proof issues. Appropriately graded as a gem, this example's surfaces abound with a rich, purple-brown tone, and an exquisite underlying luster. An absolutely brilliant and stunning piece.
