Rose Gold
Beauty
You ever wonder why 1982 SM Singapore 5 Cent Proofs are so hard to find? Maybe it's the beautiful design? Maybe it's the affluent population of its city-state that is home to a healthy coin collecting community? Maybe it's the Ultra Cameo that makes everything pop; but I think the real answer is the low mintage: 20,000.
With a mintage that small every coin is special, but what makes this 1.41 gram copper-nickel proof stand out is it's near perfect grade and its exceptional
Rose Gold
toning. It doesn't stop there because the toning also happens to turn the frosted Ultra Cameo into a
golden
color.
Does this coin make other proofs appear stale?
Some people will argue there is nothing wrong with stale; stale bread is just as edible as fresh bread. But life is more than just survival: we find enjoyment in

aesthetics

This coin is a work of art that will only become more valuable and scarce with time; and as I always say, every toned coin is different in its own way making each toned coin a mintage of 1.
