Description
Victoria Proof Farthing 1868, S3958, P1882 (rare), PR65 BN NGC, Gem Proof, a glorious coin of exceptional eye appeal, really rich chocolate brown surfaces show glimmers of mint bloom, the fields glittering more than on the bronzed proof of 1860 just offered, showing the difference between the two, albeit the difference is subtle. This is a great type piece, enhanced by enchanting light iridescence across the surfaces. Very rare in this grade, possibly as few as two dozen known in all as a Proof of Record.From the Exeter College Collection
Metal: Bronze
Weight: 2.86g
