GREAT BRITAIN. Penny, 1869. London Mint. Victoria. PCGS MS-63 Brown Gold Shield.
S-3954; KM-749.2. One of the RAREST dates in the series and an absolute key. Sharply struck with handsome toning, this wondrous piece yields more than a trace of mint red. Dave, who in the 1960s wrote the British "Trend" section for Coin World and who has handled many great British rarities (including the unique 1808 and 1954 pennies) only saw this and one other Mint State 1869 in nearly 60 years of study.
From the Q. David Bowers Collection.
