Victoria Proof Crown 1839 PR63 Cameo PCGS, Royal mint, KM741, S-3882. Plain edge. Struck upon the coronation of Queen Victoria, this select Proof Crown offers endless appeal in the way of technical quality and visual allure, delivering superbly impressed images that retain a level of sharpness that seem inconceivable. The obverse hosts a number of rather trifling contact marks and wisps that, due to an incredible array of color near the peripheries, are nothing but an afterthought. As beautiful as the obverse is, the reverse may actually be the star of this piece, showing boldly raised features that soar off the planchet and haloes of golden and magenta color that darken into a ring of teal at the legends. The dramatic nature of this selection, coupled with the fact that availability in a Proof format remains infrequent, all add to the interest of this scarce type.
