Victoria Mint Error 1/2 Crown 1846 AU53 NGC, Royal mint, KM740, S-3888. Double Struck Error - 2nd Strike 25% Off Center. A jaw-dropping Victorian error, extremely rare in this large denomination, with the second strike being broadly off-center and obscuring a good portion of Victoria's original bust, as well as the date, that only becomes visible when the surfaces are studied with a loupe. Amazingly preserved as well for such a coin, with deep olive-brown tone over both sides and no notable marks. A real pleasure to view, and without question worthy of inclusion in a world-class error collection.
Estimate: 1800-2400 USD
