George III copper Gilt Proof Penny 1806-SOHO PR68 Ultra Cameo NGC, KM663b, Peck-1325. Late Soho issue. An unmatchable Proof of this Birmingham issue, its gilt coverage bright gold and entirely unbroken. Coins of this age are exceptionally rarely found in such high certified grades, and yet this scarce survivor has managed over two hundred years without so much as a scratch, a fingerprint or contact mark to mar its pair of deep gold mirror surfaces. Every minute detail engraved at the Soho Mint has survived in an exceptionally bold relief, George's portrait simply pristine. Listed as 'scarce' by Peck, this specimen is far, far beyond that; its outstanding condition and eye appeal renders this an extreme rarity, worthy of the most selective collector of early English Proofs.
