Bermuda: 1793 proof copper penny of George III

PCGS PR63. Cert #48728327.

Numista-25966. Krause-Mishler-5a. Bronzed copper proof issue, Soho mint. Mintage of 50 pieces.

Ex-Northeast Numismatics, 10 January 2025, at the 2025 FUN show in Orlando, Florida.

This is a very difficult coin to capture in photographs. The PCGS TrueView image shows its proof contrast but not the accurate color. John Baumgart's larger obverse and reverse photos show the brown color more accurately, but subdue the mirrors and do not reveal the slight bluish tint to the copper, which you can see a little bit in my own handheld cellphone shots of the slab.

As of 2025, this was my earliest proof coin.
