Elizabeth II Proof "V.I.P." 5 Shillings (Crown) 1960 PR66 Cameo NGC, KM909, S-4143. V.I.P. issue. Mintage: 30-50 struck. Distinguishable from the ordinary coins sold to the public at the 1960 British Exposition in New York, and easily so, by its depth of strike and mirrored fields set off by high, squared-off rims. The finest of these VIP issues that we have seen, and bordering on the technically finest encountered by NGC to date. Dressed in a steel patina that evenly blankets the fields, contrasting with sharp, frosted devices displaying a soft peach-tinged hue.
Ex. RARCOA Chicago International Coin Fair Auction (March 1983, Lot 855) (sold with lot tag)
