Victoria Proof Crown 1893 PR67 PCGS, KM783, S-3937. LVI edge. Tied for finest certified by NGC or PCGS - and, being housed in an old green label PCGS holder known for their conservative grading, one could easily believe that this piece is worthy of an even higher grade. For this coin is, simply put, astounding. Its preservation is beyond belief with pristine surfaces absolutely devoid of marks, retaining its frosty gray tone in the centers yet quickly transforming into a cascade of seafoam greens punctuated by dappled red-golds. Every aspect of the striking detail has been rendered to its sharpest degree and remains as crisp today as it was when first struck; Victoria's portrait appears quite matte, whilst the reverse scene of St. George and dragon is remarkably light-catching, emphasizing its neoclassical beauty. A near-perfect Crown which needs to be seen to be believed.
