Victoria Crown 1845 MS65 NGC, Royal mint, KM741, S-3882. Fully captivating, this issue displays the youthful portrait of the Queen with expressive detail due to a definitive strike and surfaces that are toned to a desirable shade of dove gray. Splendourous hues of champagne and lavender reside at the peripheries, haloing both sides of the planchet in a colorful bezel, and elevating the visual appearance of this striking Gem. Fairly scarce when encountered at this level of Mint State, as many examples of this type have fallen victim to the pitfalls of handling. As such, a wondrous representative of this popular and fleeting issue.
Estimate: 7000-9000 USD
