BERMUDA, Colonial. George III. King of Great Britain, 1760-1820. CU Penny (31mm, 13.69 g, 6h). Soho (Birmingham) mint. Dated 1793. Laureate head right / Ship under sail left. Sportack 3/3; Pridmore 5b; KM 5. Red-brown surfaces. Superb EF. Proof-like strike.

From the William H. Birkinshaw Collection. Ex Davissons 9 (9 October 1997), lot 119.

Sportack (p. 2281) notes that a very small number of proofs were struck from dies 3/3, and that regular strikes created immediately after these had proof-like polish in the fields. The rare proofs can be distinguished by very sharp edges to the letters, while the proof-like regular issues exhibit some softness around the letters.
