Description: Proof British Halfpenny from 1799, Gilt Copper, minted at Soho Mint. One of the most affordable ways to acquire a proof coin from the 1700s in high grade. This particular example is the finest example graded by PCGS with a cameo designation, and among the finest graded by NGC, although it is hard to know the exact number due to their difference in variety attribution. I believe it to be tied for 5th-best in the world, among 80 known examples.

If you have any questions or would like more photos, feel free to send me a message. I am also open to taking offers on this coin. Thank you!
