GREAT BRITAIN. Penny, 1868. PCGS PROOF-65 RD.
S-3954; KM-749.2. Razor sharp with sharply squared rims that frame the stunningly intricate central motifs on both sides. Strong reflectivity in the fields further enhances the appearance, with mint red that is perhaps a touch less intense than the day it was struck, but is nonetheless near complete. A few minor obverse spots quite possible preclude an even finer grade. VERY RARE as a Proof date and presently unmatched in grade at PCGS or NGC in this coveted "Red" color classification.
Estimate: $2000.00- $4000.00
