Papal States. Pius IX Five-piece copper Proof Set 1850/51-R,

2) 1/2 Baiocco 1851-R V, KM1355, PR65 Red and Brown NGC
3) 1 Baiocco 1850-R V, KM1345, PR65 Red and Brown NGC
4) 2 Baiocchi 1850-R V, KM1344, PR66 Red and Brown NGC
5) 5 Baiocchi 1851-R V, KM1356, PR66 Red and Brown NGC
A truly amazing, and rare, set, with the original case. The Quattrino is the only coin in the set that is not designation Proof (erroneously) and it shows a dark toning spot on the obverse. All have bold strikes, with gold, and brownish gold patinas, with no significant flaws. The four Proof coins are truly special, with fully mirrored fields, bold strike, and surfaces free of notable marks.
Estimate: 3000-3500 USD
