Description
Victoria Farthing 1859, S3950, Young Head, MS65 BN PCGS, "9" in date ghosted, small scuffs at the base of Victoria's neck but PCGS was overwhelmed by the beautiful eye appeal of this coin, and awarded it a grade so hard to get. Fully struck except in the center of Britannia, which in most farthings is just plain flat, not struck up at all. The color here is just overwhelming: a lush mahogany brown with subdued mint red, the obverse having an exquisite sheen of bluish mauve. Wow! Victoria's early farthings just do not show up looking like this very often. Our estimate deserves to be trumped.From the Guilford Courthouse Collection.
Metal: Copper
Mintage: 1,290,000
