Victoria Proof Penny 1853 PR64 Brown PCGS, KM739, S-3948. The first Penny we have offered separately from this mysterious mid-19th century Proof set. For a coin designated to be 'brown', this piece is an immensely bright copper-yellow in the light, the reverse with intense areas of blue and gold, its patina incredible for this metal; definitively struck, Victoria's portrait is needle sharp with every detail carefully incised and without any subsequent handling. Near-impossible to upgrade upon, a vital issue to any advanced collection of British Pennies and hardly ever offered on its own.
