Lot 4509
Great Britain. Bronzed Proof Penny, 1797. Peck-1328. George III. Obverse: Draped laureate bust of King right with 10 jewels in brooch and faint horizontal striking flaw across the large fold of the drapery. Reverse: Britannia seated. A gorgeous dark carmel color bronzed Proof with blue tinged mirror-like fields and cameo design. NGC graded Proof 64 Brown.
* Peck point out that the real importance of this piece is that evidence shows Proof strikings were made at the Soho mint at least as late as 1830, around the time of the death of George IV. This was a late Soho issue and not (an even later!) Taylor production.
Estimated Value $500 - 600.
