Orange Free State. Republic bronze Pattern Penny 1874 MS65 Brown NGC, Brussels mint, KM-XPn1, Hern-O1. Estimated mintage: 100. By L.C. Lauer for Otto Nolte. An incredibly attractive example of what is broadly referred to as "salesman samples" in Hern. Awash with luminosity owing to the abundant die polish occupying the fields. The reverse is particularly stunning with fiery orange and magenta propelling the visual appeal to an elite level. Accompanied by an old dealer's ticket indicating the pedigree. Ex.
