Victoria Proof 1/2 Penny 1853 PR65 Brown PCGS, Royal mint, KM726, S-3949. To certify this magnificent piece as "brown" is somewhat unfair, for it is far more colorful than that. Unusually for copper, the fields show a terrific array of teals and whites, fringed with a deep red crescent of the original luster. Victoria's portrait is almost cameo-worthy, flawless and aglow with a golden tone which seems to breathe life into her when the coin is tilted. An elite offering of huge visual appeal, and one which merits viewing in hand for full effect.
