Victoria Crown 1845 MS61 NGC, KM741, S-3882. Cinquefoil stops on edge. The second year of Victoria's Crown as a business strike (preceded by the 1839 example in her Proof set and the 1844), from a mintage of 159,000 pieces. One can only presume that many of these became worn out and melted down from the scarcity of Mint State examples on the market today. This piece is rather nice for the grade, exhibiting bagmarks and hairlines but an otherwise strong portrait and a good deal of silky gray luster; its overall appearance is truly Mint State, its minimal toning giving a very freshly struck look. Difficult to obtain as appealing as this.
