British Colony. Victoria copper Proof Pattern Cent 1863 PR64 Brown NGC, KM-Pn72, Prid-287. A curious and seldom-seen Pattern issue of this always popular inaugural Cent, embellished with highly attractive, rich, chocolate-brown surfaces fully struck up with Victoria's instantly recognizable "Gothic" portrait, all tinged by glossy, subtle pastel hues enlivened under illumination. Despite notable evidence of die rust to the reverse, the example at hand persists as a wholly appreciable example of an elusive type.
