George IV Proof Crown 1821 PR64 PCGS, Royal mint, KM680.1, S-3805, ESC-2312. SECUNDO edge. Deeply toned, with hints of russet and violet hues and a slight frosting on the obverse devices which nearly creates a cameo appearance. George's effigy comes alive, as the slight differences in relief create impeccably lifelike contours on his neck and face, while each strand of his wildly ruffled hair adds its own character. Tied for the highest graded among the major services, this piece is a welcome addition to the collection of any connoisseur with an interest in British numismatics or crown-sized coinage.
Estimate: 6000-8000 USD
