Newfoundland. Victoria copper Specimen Pattern Cent 1864 SP66 Red and Brown PCGS, London mint, Charlton NF-18, Bowman-26. Plain Edge - Medal Alignment. A miraculous survivor of early-dated Newfoundland issues, containing all the hallmarks of a true Gem. The chestnut-brown surfaces possess an incredible layer of blush and champagne luster that lies beneath the tone, effortlessly brightening the impeccably bold design illustrations when rotated under the light. As one would expect at this level, the fields remain free of even trace evidence of handling, and due to the Specimen striking, shimmer with eye-catching reflectivity. Currently tied with only one other example in this top classification--a coin that we sold in our in our 2014 CICF auction which hammered for $7,500--and likely to bring substantial bidder activity as such.From the Schroeder Collection of Canadian Coins
Estimate: 6000-8000 USD
