George VI Proof 1/2 Penny 1950-(p) PR63 Brown PCGS, Perth mint, KM42. Choice for the grade, with appealing, chestnut-toned surfaces that express an incredible amount of flash, brightening the central motifs in deep purple and bathing the outer registers in striated, champagne color. Upon closer review, the portrait of George VI is pleasingly rendered, showing highpoint definition across his facial features, while in complimentary fashion, the reverse equally satisfies the studious eye. In alignment with the designation, a touch of mild chatter is noted, as are a few minor post-strike handling marks. Few Proof examples of this denomination have been offered in the recent past, and those that have sold brought record prices, leading us to believe that this selection will likely follow suit, bringing a considerable amount of interest from specialists of the series.
Estimate: 6000-8000 USD
