Victoria Proof "Gothic" Crown 1847 PR62 NGC, KM744, S-3883. UN DECIMO edge. This celebrated type is supposedly one of the most beautiful ever produced in the British numismatic series, and this cataloger finds it difficult to argue with this opinion. Somewhat cheated of a Cameo level certification, Victoria's crisp crowned portrait appears frosty and matte; the mirror fields behind are exceedingly bright, free from the patina common for this type which can dull their reflectivity. The peripheries, however, do show toning, light rings of pale gold only adding to the eye appeal of this superb piece. A combination of wonderful engraving and excellent preservation cumulating in a show stopping piece.
