Nova Scotia. Victoria bronze Specimen Pattern 1/2 Cent 1861 SP65 Red and Brown PCGS, London mint, NS-3. A stunning survivor, not just because of its technical grade, but also for its visual allure. The bronze surfaces are absolutely aglow in a melange of cerulean, champagne, and peach iridescence that forms a rich patina across both sides, and invites the viewer to stay just a bit longer. With the aid of magnification, the confirmation of clear fields becomes resolute, providing a near-flawless and semi-reflective backdrop for the expertly struck designs. A scarce pattern issue that has all the hallmarks of a spectacular Gem, and a type that is so infrequently offered in the marketplace, it is likely to spark great interest from collectors of this special maritime province.Ex. Norweb; Temple CollectionsFrom the Schroeder Collection of Canadian Coins
Estimate: 3000-4000 USD
