William IV Proof Crown 1831 PR65 Cameo PCGS, KM715, S-3833, ESC-2462. Plain edge, W.W. on truncation. William IV's Crowns were only produced in proof format, none being produced for circulation, and this immense offering is tied for finest graded across both NGC and PCGS - yet its eye-appeal is simply unbeatable. Blazing, fiery patina blasts across the obverse field and cloaks William's stark cameo portrait, a deep golden-yellow roaring from the centers cumulating in rings of smouldering orange-brown at the peripheries. Terrifically well-struck, the devices exhibiting essentially no wear commensurate with this elite, Gem-level certification. In every respect this Crown dazzles the viewer: through its rarity, its superb preservation and sublime patina. Likely the best the cataloger has seen, impossible to upgrade upon and one that cannot be ignored by the highest tier collectors of British Crowns.
