Victoria Proof 1/2 Crown 1839 PR64 NGC, KM740, S-3885, Plain edge. Outstanding in its visual appeal even for this routinely beautiful type, Victoria's young portrait exhibiting razor-sharp detail in her hair and dual fillets and a delicate uninterrupted curve to her cheek, lacking even a semblance of highpoint wear. Deep steel-blue tone dominates the fields surrounding the crisp devices, flashes of magenta and seafoam green shining through in places and bolstering the eye appeal; a coin intended to honor the new Queen at her coronation, and from its technical quality, precise engraving and magnificent tone, one which surely succeeded.
