Great Britain
Victoria Proof 1/2 Crown 1839 PR64 Cameo PCGS, Royal mint, KM740, S-3885 (incorrect on PCGS insert). KM740. Plain edge. One Ornate Fillet - One Plain. A superior example of this coronation type with outstanding visual qualities that easily captivate, and technical preciseness that quickly satisfies the eye. The surfaces are heavily draped in a layer of slate-blue with flecks of iridescent fuchsia and cerulean hidden in the recesses, and the high-gloss mirrors radiate with warmth when rotated. As far as presentation, it seems difficult to imagine a finer example, and we expect that excitement to translate into spirited bidding among collectors of conditionally-scarce British issues.
