Victoria Proof 1/2 Crown 1885 PR65 PCGS, Royal mint, KM756, S-3889, ESC-2766. A sublime Gem example of this very rare proof date, bathed in rich multicolored tone on both sides, but retaining the clear underlying reflectivity that gives proofs their heightened appearance. As one might expect, the design elements also display full crispness. One of only two examples of this "proof of record" certified by PCGS and NGC combined, and considered the famous provenance, a coin that's entirely deserving of inclusion in a someday-famous collection of great rarities.
