Great Britain
Victoria Proof Penny 1839 PR66 Brown NGC, KM739a, S-3948. A wholly engaging example of the type, made even more stunning by the uniform glossy, chocolate surfaces glistening with subtle iridescence. A nearly pristine representative relative to most certified pieces, landing atop the conditional census, tied with three others and none finer. Yet another offering boasting William Wyon's effigy of a young Victoria, showcasing his attention to detail and talent, while the reverse remains especially crisp with a refined seated Britannia that would adorn fractional coinage for the entirety of Victoria's reign.
