Republic copper Proof Pattern Peso 1870 P-CT PR63 Brown NGC, Potosi mint, KM-X5a. Chocolaty brown in color with bright flashes of cobalt that hug the legends and cling to the peripheries. This highly coveted provisional pattern reveals watery fields with bursts of white reflectivity--a seldom-encountered phenomenon amongst copper issues. Lightly scattered handling marks barely register to the observing eye, as they effortlessly blend into the entrancing reddish hues that infuse both sides of the planchet. Similarly, trace amounts of die rust in the R and C in REPUBLICA, seamlessly slip into the natural toning pattern. As such, an altogether engaging specimen in both technical precision and visual allure.
