George III gilt-copper Proof 2 Pence 1797-SOHO PR63 Ultra Cameo NGC, Soho mint, Peck-1067. An immense specimen, razor-sharp and deeply satisfying to behold. The size of this Twopence was absolutely unprecedented in the history of British numismatics, and its design somewhat unique with its broad raised border; the combination gives a robust, chunky feel, all-the-more emphasized here via its luxurious gilt coat. Its strike is pristine, every minute aspect of the engraving fully rendered by the Soho steam mill. The size of this type can often count against it, as its massive weight and pure copper content make it prone to edge knocks and surface scuffs. Accordingly, this premium choice specimen is exceptional, and a true outlier in terms of technical quality and eye appeal.
