Victoria (1837-1901), Young Head, Halfpenny, 1887 (Freeman 358; BMC 1843; S 3956). Brilliant mint state, proof-like fields and attractive rainbow tone, a most attractive early strike £100-150

Although many aspects of the appearance of this coin would suggest it is a proof, the quality of striking is arguably not to the Mint’s proof standard
