Ancient, British and World Coins, Tokens and Historical Medals

George III (1760-1820), George iii, Restrike (Taylor) bronzed Proof Penny, 1807, from rusty dies (BMC 1354-VS). Practically mint state and rare (£250-280)

Many of Taylor’s restrikes are surprising scarce, presumably because, in the case of coins such as the piece above, at the time of his activities original Soho strikings were both readily available and inexpensive.
