George III Penny 1797, S-3777, MS64 RB PCGS, a choice coin but this one is nearly full golden red, faded slightly to light brown, and as such is in an elusive state -- imagine a coin struck 215 years ago, in Birmingham, England, an industrial place with all sorts of pollution in the air that generally corroded metals of all kinds, and oxidized copper quickly, actually surviving its era and still possessing so much mint color. The strike could be a bit sharper but who can complain about a coin so well preserved as this one?From The Estate of John C. Hugon.

Estimate: 1500.00-2000.00 USD
