GREAT BRITAIN. Bronze Penny Pattern from 1/2 Penny Dies, 1859. London Mint. Victoria. PCGS SPECIMEN-65 Brown Gold Shield.
P-2013, Freeman-722. Peck calls this a pattern 1/2 Penny, while Freeman states that it is a pattern Penny struck using the portrait punch from the Shilling in copper-nickel alloy. In either event, both wholeheartedly agree that it is an EXTREME RARITY. Immensely majestic and captivating, with a delightful woodgrain nature and glossy brilliance. This cataloger could locate only one other example in recent memory--a slightly cloudy and spotted specimen that realized a hammer of over $8,600 in 2010.
Estimate: $8000 - $12000
