George III 'Cartwheel' 2 Pence 1797 MS64 Brown NGC, Soho mint, KM619, S-3776. A premium example of the largest copper coin ever produced in Britain. The popularity of these types led to their being used for many such uses as convict tokens and smuggling boxes, as well as their circulating until the late Victoria era. Accordingly, most show large edge knocks, heavy wear and overall hardships commensurate with this use. The present specimen is all the more rare thus, having pristine edges, barely any contact marks or scratches, and exhibiting soft residual luster within the deeply-impressed legends and devices. If you are seeking an elite currency specimen of this famous type, then look no further.
