GREAT BRITAIN. Crown, 1839. London Mint. Victoria. PCGS PROOF-63 Gold Shield.
S-3882; Dav-105; KM-741. Plain edge. An entrancing and exotic proof issue, this 'delayed' type--referred to as such on account of it being produced two years after the beginning of Victoria's reign--features a razor sharp strike with immense underlying brilliance and a dazzling tone composed of cobalt, olive-gray, and deep amber. A momentous opportunity for the advanced collector of Victorian types, proof issues, or even those emanating from the skillful hand of William Wyon.
Estimate: $15000 - $20000
