Description
Victoria Proof Farthing 1896, S3963, P1960 (bronze, very rare), PR65 BN NGC, Old Head, Gem Proof, faint partial fingerprint on obverse field, but this is overwhelmed by the superb colors and splendid quality of preservation of this specimen -- a gorgeous, iridescent bluish brown with golden hues, tinges of firey mint red here and there, the strike just a perfect, full Royal Mint impression, rims high and squared off and flawless. There are likely fewer than half a dozen of these in existence, this one being the finest piece this cataloguer has seen in some 30 years.From the Exeter College Collection
Metal: Bronze
