Victoria Proof Crown 1893 PR66 NGC, KM783, S-3937, ESC-2594. LVI edge. Outstanding, an absolutely extraordinary survivor from Victoria's final Proof Set. Fully deserving of its premium gem grade, the surfaces of this jewel seemingly merit a higher grade still bearing no hairlines nor contact marks whatsoever; the strike is definitive, with delicate frost highlighting Victoria's portrait in a pseudo-cameo effect. A luminescent rainbow patina explodes like fireworks on both the obverse and reverse, intensifying the eye appeal. The last 1893 Proof Crown of this quality we handled sold in January 2018 for $19,800, and we anticipate similar excitement for this wonderful piece.
