<B>Victoria copper overdate penny, 1858/3.</B></I> S-3948. Young Head. MS64 RD PCGS. A super-rarity in this delightful series, this coin catalogues in the Spink price guide for $400 (about $800) in <I>brown EF</B></I> grade. MS examples are so elusive that Spink does not price them. The gorgeous specimen offered here may well be the finest extant, for it is Gem Brilliant Uncirculated. The surfaces are nearly mark-free and are fully original, having a small number of faint spots and flecks of carbon. The strike is deep. The dies are lightly clashed. This awesome coin has shimmering mint-red cartwheel luster! As such, it is one of the very few <I>original red</B></I> copper pennies, of any date, this cataloguer has seen over many years. PCGS has given it the MS64 number because of the carbon flecks, but take this coin out of the holder and many collectors would without hesitation call it MS65 RD, or Gem BU! A fantastic prize for the copper enthusiast or lover of original Victorian rarities.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
