GREAT BRITAIN. Farthing, 1878. London Mint. Victoria. PCGS PROOF-66 Red Brown Gold Shield.
S-3958; KM-753. The single finest certified of the date on the PCGS population report, none finer. An absolutely outstanding example of the type with a needle sharp strike, frosted devices and highly lustrous fields displaying much original mint bloom. Lovely light mottled patina adds to its pleasing appearance and originality with iridescent highlights that pop out when tilted in the light. Fabulous representative such as the present piece do not appear on the market often and as such should be considered VERY RARE and highly sought after.
