Sierra Leone
British Colony. Sierra Leone Company gilt-bronze Cent 1791 Proof Details (Cleaned) NGC, Soho mint, KM1a, FT-8B. The first of this gilt Cent variety that we've handled, listed as six times more valuable than the standard proof strike in The Coinage of British West Africa & St. Helena 1684-1958 by David Vice. Both the obverse and reverse details remain almost entirely struck-up, the gilding hanging on to every inch of the flan but at the very highpoints, where cobalt-toned bronze peeks through. Seemingly the first example to hit a major auction in recent memory, sure to be scooped up by discerning eyes.
