GREAT BRITAIN: George V, 1910-1935, AR crown, 1935, KM-842, S-4049, Silver Jubilee Commemorative, PCGS graded Specimen-66. In addition to the prooflike surfaces there are a few other subtle differences between the Specimen strike and the circulation strike crowns. The incused edge lettering was applied at the time of striking on the Specimen and is superior in quality, the rims are a bit sharper and more precise and the edge surface is also prooflike. Edge letter orientation for the Specimen is the same as the Proof with the obverse side of the coin facing up when the edge lettering is rightside up. True Specimens are scarcer than one might think because early business strikes are sometimes mistakenly offered for sale as Specimens. According to British Royal Mint records the mintage figures for the Specimen strike vary from 14,382 to 14,398.

Estimate: 200-300 USD
