George IV Proof 1/2 Crown 1820 PR65 PCGS, KM676, S-3807. Reeded edge. A sublime example, at the very height of perfection for the type with none graded finer than this. Its sleek surfaces are positively aglow with a moody steel-blue and charcoal tone, often exhibited by this type but rarely as intense; its strike is exquisite, breathing life into Pistrucci's expert engraving. An impossible coin to upgrade, housed in a green label PCGS holder.
