Hern-T27; Bruce-Pn9. Single finest graded and designation of Red-Brown with a single example in the same graded designated as Red. Hern mentions these are salesman's samples and not true proofs. Whether or not the reader agrees with Hern, this specimen has flashy mirror fields, full sharp strike and handsome red-brown patina(mostly red) with hints of blues and purples in the open fields and atop the devices. A lovely example sure to excite the connoisseur of South African Numismatics. NGC PROOF-65 RB.
