Great Britain
George III Crown 1820 MS66 PCGS, KM675, S-3787. LX Edge. Tied for highest graded by either NGC or PCGS, and the finest 1820 Crown that one could hope to obtain. Level, lustrous surfaces of unparalleled smoothness provide a flawless platform for silky cartwhweel luster seeming to shine from great depth; dappled gold and red tone gleam from the peripheries providing a frame for the gunmetal gray centers. Every aspect of Pistrucci's engraving has been masterfully struck to produce immense sharpness, the quality firmly prooflike. For the grade-conscious collector of British Crowns, look no further for preservation or eye appeal, as this offering boasts both in abundance.
