Papal States. Pius IX Proof Baiocco Anno V (1851)-R PR66 Red Brown NGC, Rome mint, KM1345. Certainly the finest known example, this absolutely stunning proof has everything going for it: the design is crisply impressed into highly reflective, glassy fields, and the obverse has taken on a gorgeous tone with sky-blue, pink, and slightly orange hues. While a smattering of light handling marks are to be noted for the sake of completeness, this is truly the only noticeable flaw to speak of. A second-to-none specimen sure to inspire fierce competition among connoisseurs of the Italian series seeking perfection.
