Netherlands East Indies
Sumatra. East India Company Proof 3 Kepings AH 1213 (1798) PR65 Brown NGC, Soho mint, KM259.2, Scholten-951. A notably elusive and rare Proof striking, especially when found at this gem level, with only a single specimen graded higher by NGC to-date. A splendid warm chestnut in hue, the present example exhibits all of the pin-point precision indicative of a Proof specimen, a subtly darkening of color occurring towards the center of the reverse, and outranks the Seki specimen we sold earlier this year (PR64 Brown) for an impressive $1260.
