CEYLON: George VI, 1936-1952, 5 cents, 1951, KM-120, Bombay mint proof restrike, PCGS graded Proof 64. Remick in 1968 states the following: "The entire 1951 coinage has been restruck in proof condition in fairly large amounts [at the mint in Bombay]. It is very difficult to impossible to tell the original 1951 proof coins [struck at the British Royal Mint] from the restrike. The original issue of 1951 was well struck from new dies. Some of the later restrikes were struck from rusty dies, but this is not so for all restrikes. The coins are lacquered for protection."
