Orange Free State. Republic bronze Pattern Penny 1874 MS63 Brown NGC, Brussels mint, KMX-Pn1. Just 100 pieces of this pattern were produced, and few can have survived with the eye appeal maintained by this choice Mint State piece. Perfectly struck, with a gorgeous blue tone to the uppermost surfaces, deep red luster at the margins forming a fiery ring. Truly a beautiful specimen, particularly for this metal which rarely develops such an attractive patina.
