Description

Carol I Proof Specimen Pattern Ban 1888 SP63 Brown PCGS, Bucharest mint, KM-Pn44, Schäffer/Stambuliu-39.1.1. An increasingly elusive type in anything considered appreciable, such as this offering, fully Choice and glistening with originality. Of the two varieties, the gilt-bronze examples have higher catalog values, yet are seen with greater frequency both on the market and at the grading services, with those handful of bronze examples seen only half as much. Only a single example of this type finds itself certified finer, making this not only an absolute rarity, but conditionally scarce as well.
