Victoria Proof 4 Pence 1842 PR64 NGC, KM731.1, ESC-1937 (R3). An extremely rare Proof of record, produced to an exceptionally high standard. Surely deserving of a 'cameo' designation, this piece exhibits an icy white Proof sheen turning matte as it flows across Wyon's portrait of young Victoria, remaining flashy in the fields and giving the much-loved contrast. The peripheries have toned a light golden brown, framing the gleaming centers effectively and adding to the eye appeal. Scarcely ever encountered at auction, this piece would make a superb addition to any collection of British Proofs.
