Victoria Proof "Gothic" Crown 1847 PR63+ NGC, KM744, S-3883, ESC-2571. UN DECIMO on edge. Effortlessly appealing, this naturally toned representative will find a fitting home in the cabinet of any collector who prizes its combination of choice "plus" technical preservation and a distinctive, elegant patina. Predominantly metallic-toned, with light touches of deep forest green and a pervasive undercurrent of sunset gold adding a sophisticated color contrast, the patina gradually darkening against the devices to emboldening effect. When combined with a glassy luster in the fields and a razor-sharpness of detail, this formidable example deserves consideration by even those collectors who have passed on other examples in search of "just the right one." Sold with envelope and round collector tag.
