George V Proof Farthing 1932 PR64 Red and Brown NGC, KM825, S-4061. An exceptionally rare Proof of Record, the sole certified example by either NGC or PCGS. Whereas the 1911 and 1927 proof sets had included examples of George V's gold and silver coinage, bronze proofs had been excluded from general commerce, and only exceedingly few had been produced whatsoever. This Farthing represents one of these few, and in an exceptional grade, boldly detailed with a beautiful magenta tinge to the vibrant red surfaces. Likely the sole opportunity collectors will have to obtain a 1932 Farthing in proof.
Ex. Rev. Edgar Rogers OBE Collection, purchased by A H Baldwin & Sons Ltd, c.1960
