Description
British Colony bronzed-copper Proof Penny 1791 PR64 Brown NGC, FT8A, KM2.1. 4 hairs, 3 blades of grass. Ex. Samuel Birchall Collection. From the collector: "Sent from Soho on 1st July 1793 to the token issuer and collector Samuel Birchall. Samuel Birchall is a name very familiar to numismatists since in 1796 he wrote one of the earliest books known on British eighteenth century tokens entitled 'A Descriptive list of the Provincial Copper Coins or Tokens issued between the years 1786 and 1796 arranged Alphabetically.' The Soho coins as sent to Birchall remained in their original paper wrappers untouched for two centuries before being opened by the present consignor. The coins are sold with their original wrappers." Beautiful brown patina with flashes of blue luster. Stunningly preserved over the last two centuries.Metal: Bronze
Diameter: 32.00mm
