Victoria bronze Proof Halfpenny, 1875-H. Bun Head. S-39
<B>Victoria bronze Proof Halfpenny, 1875-H.</B></I> Bun Head. S-3957. P-1812, as extremely rare. PR65 RD PCGS. This coin has an intense redness, and is deeply mirrored. It's gorgeous! For years, numismatists have argued over whether the Heaton Mint pieces are Proofs or Specimens. They are not identical in either texture or strike to the Royal Mint Proofs, but certainly they are far more than "proof-like" pieces. This particular specimen is as much a Proof as any Heaton piece seen, and is far, far finer than almost all of the few others that have shown up in the market in recent years.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
