Papal States. Sede Vacante Scudo 1829-B MS65 Prooflike NGC, Bologna mint, KM1303. Impressive and broad, with total reflectivity from rim to rim, and classic smoke-toned fields that are highlighted by oyster iridescence that has collected around the design elements, producing a high-relief effect. The design motifs are incredible--each fold in the fabric, each ray of light, each curve of the cloud shows a level of technical precision that seems nearly impossible for the age of this crown. An exceptionally well-preserved offering with instant eye appeal, and a true Gem in every way.
Estimate: 2000-3000 USD
