Great Britain
George IV Proof Crown 1826 PR62 NGC, Royal mint, KM699, S-3806. Septimo edge. A coin that easily attracts the eye, first with its classic pattern of tone--gunmetal with graphite accents in recesses--and then with its delicate reflectivity in the mirrors and subtle hints of cobalt and magenta that awaken during rotation. The designs show a minimal amount of weakness, but the impressive reverse shield is impeccably styled. A singular issue that is arguably scarce at all levels, or at the very least, a type that commands a considerable premium when encountered as such.
