Groat 1862 Plain edge ProofESC 1955B, Bull 3357, Davies 1235, S.3913 in an NGC holder and graded PF63 Cameo, an exceptionally rare coin, it's rating of R5 by Bull is fully justified. Our archive database stretching back to 2003 shows that this is the first example we have offered. Internet searches have showed only one previous example offered for sale.
Halfpenny 1862 Die Letter B to the left of the lighthouse, Freeman 288, dies 7+E, LCW on rock. EF/NEF with some edge nicks and light surface residue. By far the finest example we have offered of this extremely rare type, rated R18 by Freeman. In our experience the rarest of the three main die letter types. Online research shows NGC have only graded 2 examples, the highest graded 45, PCGS have not graded a single example, and LCGS have only graded 2 examples, the highest being Fine 25, so this potentially the finest remaining example

Unpriced by Krause, 9.17 grammes, GEF/AU the obverse with a few minor contact marks. All Hong Kong pattern Cents are very rare. We note this type is not recorded on the Heritage, Goldbergs or Stacks archive databases, and our research has not revealed any recent transactions of this type. A rare opportunity to own this rare pattern which would be certain to enhance any advanced Hong Kong collection
