Off the market for decades.

A recent discovery that I found of this extremely rare Specimen Proof from the King's Norton Mint Collection which grades PCGS SP66RD. While no official mintage records are kept for most of these types of coins, typical mintages are 5-15 pieces. Sources that I have believe that there were only 3-5 of these struck, but who really knows for sure? This particular coin was off the market for decades. Currently no example has been graded by NGC, and only two are graded by PCGS, one being a SP65RD and this example, making this the finest of two graded. A truly remarkable find of a coin not documented for the past 55 years. Also a great addition to my award winning Belgian Congo Collection!
